With a huge amount of warmth at the ready, excellent power through the mids, and trebles that are lush and round, every bit of this Martin D-35 sounds beautiful. 1970’s D-35s are often shop favourites, thanks to their lighter-than-a-D-28 bracing and 50-plus tours around the sun to get their tonewoods sounding best.

A well-played but otherwise straight-ahead D-35 from 1971, this guitar remains crack-free apart from a repaired b-string pickguard crack and is in excellent structural condition. The original bridge and plate are unmodified, braces are unrepaired, original pickguard nicely reglued, and the neck has been neatly reset. Our shop is responsible for its new frets, nut and saddle, and fresh set up. The fretboard binding and sections of body binding have been reglued in places, as is pretty much the norm for any vintage D-35. There is a strap button in the neck heel and a ‘go-back’ endpin which replaces a jack from a removed pickup. The guitar’s finish is original throughout, with a small area of playwear by the pickguard ‘sealed’ with dropped-in finish.

The neck is comfortable and easy to play, not small, and not big; the classic ‘70s Martin feel. 1-11/16” nutwidth, .835” depth at the 1st fret. We have the action set at 4-6 64ths with a full height saddle.

With blue thermoplastic hardshell case.
