A one-of-a-kind left-handed Custom Shop Martin HD-35 built in the late 1980s. The HD-35 was a standard catalogue model through the 1980s, and this guitar largely conforms to the catalogue description but for its CF Martin Headstock inlay and clearly upgraded tonewoods.
A sweet, rich, and full sounding rosewood Dreadnought, this HD-35 lefty has a mature and fully developed voice with robust treble string response, a clean mid range, and a bass response that’s both dark and well defined. It’s an excellent flatpicker and strummer, a good choice for singer-backup, and a surprisingly capable fingerstyle guitar.
A completely original guitar that remains in very good shape and shows little playwear. It has had its top center-seam and its bridge reglued but is otherwise free of repairs. The top’s finish shows some lacquer craze lines and one somewhat significant scratch between the bridge and bottom.
Scalloped braced Sitka spruce top with small maple bridge plate; quartered Indian rosewood back and sides, Style 35 bindings with upgraded herringbone top purflings and vintage zig-zag backstrips. Ebony board and bridge; abalone pearl headstock logo.
The guitar’s neck has a round carve and medium depth, with a 1st fret thickness of .854” and a nutwidth of 1-11/16. 25.4” scale, 2-5/32” string spread at the saddle.
With original hardshell case.
