A bright dreadnought for one of modern bluegrass's brightest stars, we've got the Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle in a warm Vintage Sunburst. Always keeping their finger on the pulse of one of America's oldest musical forms, the fine folks at Martin Guitar tap award-winning bluegrass guitarist Molly Tuttle for her take on a classic Martin D-14 Fret. This signature model assembles with some keen customizations straight from the guitarist herself for a dazzling dreadnought to keep the barn burnin'.

Molly Tuttle, a decorated bluegrass guitarist from a long line of musicians, has made a name for herself in both celebrated bluegrass bands and on her own as a solo artist. Crossing paths with the likes of bluegrass and country contemporaries Margo Price, Gillian Welch, and Billy Strings, Tuttle has a pretty stacked resume and a star-studded rolodex to her name, among her many accolades for her six-string skills. Today's Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle celebrates the guitarist and the classic American music style she calls home.

The Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle comes together with some classic Martin specs with plenty of exciting spins along the way. First, this signature model assembles with a Martin D-14 Fret body with mahogany back and sides and a spruce top. Wrapped in a gloss finish and sporting a Vintage Sunburst top color, this body carries with it generations of Martin dreadnought excellence. Within its iconic D-14 shape, there is some modern mojo afoot.

This Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle is fitted with Golden Era 5/16" scalloped spruce braces under its hood in a seldom-seen rearward-shifted X-Brace pattern. Golden Era braces, a more modern Martin development usually found in their Modern Deluxe series, help this dreadnought along for a bright and powerful projection alongside its rearward-shifted bracing position. Rearward-shifting, as opposed to the more common forward-shifting, moves the bracing positions farther from the soundhole, tightening trebles and placing less focus on bass response for an overall brighter-sounding instrument. This plays right into Tuttle's reputation as a masterful flat- and fingerpicker for her bluegrass stylings.

Reaching out, this Molly Tuttle signature features a satin-finished genuine mahogany neck in an Authentic 1941 profile with a Standard Taper in Martin's dovetail neck joint assembly. These elements combined make for a smooth and classic feel in the palm alongside an easy experience on the fingers with an ebony fingerboard. Twenty frets line up along this dark ebony with gorgeous custom Moon Phase Mother of Pearl inlays. Moving along the scale, Mother of Pearl makes up a lunar phase pattern, waxing and waning along the guitar's 25.4" scale length.

Backing up all these structural and elements are a robust hardware setup and aesthetic flourishes. For one, a bone nut lands at the headstock with nickel open gear tuning machines. At the scale's opposite end, an ebony Golden Era Modern Belly bridge features a drop-in compensated bone saddle matching for an incredibly solid intonation feel. This D-18 is decked with an Old Style 18 Multi-Stripe top inlay, Style 18 strip, and brown faux tortoise binding to add up to a rich, classy look on and off the stage. This Martin D-18 Molly Tuttle travels with an included Martin molded hardshell case.

For modern bluegrass's boldest and brightest, it only makes enough sense that she has a Martin to match.

Underwhelming
Color: silver
Too much hype. It just holds the laptop. Buy something cheaper. The slide adjuster isn’t useful to me at all.

Useful but not perfect
Color: silver
Useful, but typing with laptop perched on it is unsteady. I use a separate keyboard.

Why are people trying to type on a laptop stand?
Color: silver
So the overwhelmingly negative reviews you'll notice for this product specifically surround the "bounciness" of this stand when someone is typing on it—however what is confusing to me is how people are purchasing a laptop stand in theory to optimize their ergonomics, yet also stretching their arms out and elevating them to type on said laptop once it's raised. the point of a laptop riser/stand is to elevate the screen so that you can maintain a more natural posture. One would assume you have an external keyboard to use in conjunction with your laptop once you place it on a RISER, because the idea is to elevate your laptop as a SCREEN and then have a level/flat surface to type on, thereby alleviating any awkward hunching or neck strain looking down or anywhere not naturally eye-level. as it is, it's a perfectly functional and elegant laptop riser. I don't find myself wanting to adjust the height often if ever, but in the one or two instances I experimented with it, found no mechanical issues. It looks nice with Apple hardware and allows me to have my laptop's screen flush with the bottom edge of my additional external monitor, so it serves my purposes well. for people complaining about how it bounces when they type on it ... STOP typing on your laptop's keyboard when you have it elevated on a riser! this defeats the purpose and probably also makes your arms tired—buy an external keyboard!

Nice Valet tray with Qi standard charger USB-C
Color: Best Dad-brown
I like this valet tray. I'm not fond of the message in the main compartment of the valet tray. It means they expect someone to buy it for their dad. I bought it for myself. What I like is the Qi standard compatibility of the wireless charger. It has many advantages over the wireless chargers that are sold. Most are round circles, so your phone teeters on the odd design. Some want to attach to my phone with some magnetic gimmickry. This valet tray takes a different approach. It has a built-in Qi standard wireless charger that's in a rectangular compartment. The USB-C wire that is USB-C at both ends is faster; that's the advantage of USB-C. It carries more power and higher data speed. But the Qi standard disables charging when the phone is at 100%. This avoids overcharging. It's an excellent design. The charging port is built-in to the side of the valet tray. Just the placement of the indicator light is under the phone. A fully charged phone doesn't trigger charging. It avoids overcharging. There is drawback the shallow USB port doesn't allow proper seating of USB C plugs this puts a lot of weight on a barely plugged wire.

Very Nice!
Color: Best Dad-brown, Color: Best Dad-brown
I must admit I was a little suprised at how nicely done this Valet Tray has been made. My father used to have one similar to this when I was a child (without the charging base) that came from Italy. It was made from real leather and he had it for many years. This Valet Tray reminds me of his. I realize it is not real leather but it is definitely an excellent grade of PU. The seams are Immaculate, with razor straight stiching. Not a single thread out of place. The Vege Leather is truly beautiful, with realistic and natural looking coloration and shading as real leather would have. The feel is the same as well oiled and polished leather. Honestly I am impressed with how much time and effort has been put into this Valet Tray. This is an excellent Gift for anyone who has a busy life and likes to know where their keys are etc.. As well as being an excellent place to set your phone. The charging tray works perfectly. The user manual that comes with this Valet Tray gives all the information needed. It is very simple and easy to set up. You simply plug in the cord that is included with the tray and when you set your phone down on the charging pad, Bingo! it begins to charge. You can tell when it is charging because the light will turn from blue (standby) to green (charging). I must say that I am extremely happy in every way with this Valet Tray. The different Sayings that these come with are very nicely done. This one says "Dad, Your'e My Hero, Thanks for Everything" There are other sayings as well by this company, as for this one I am looking forward to giving this one to my husband on Fathers Day (from our son) and see the happiness on his face. I would recommend this to anyone with a "Dad" in their life who could use one.
