1971 Martin D-35
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.
