1974 Martin D35
NEW ARRIVAL The Martin D35 is similar to the more famous D28 - a dreadnought with Spruce top and Indian Rosewood back and sides - only with a 3 piece Indian Rosewood back. What this does for the sound is add more bass, as the 3 piece back is stronger that the traditional 2 piece back, allowing the top bracing to be lighter and therefore resonate more. It has a bright, punchy sound with plenty of attack, and a tight controlled bass, and with 44 years of play it has matured really well. It's in very good condition for it's age, the top having turned a beautiful honey colour, and the three piece back has beautifully defined Rosewood grain. It's in all original condition, other than a changed tortoiseshell pickguard. It has a nicely bound ebony fingerboard, and a comfortable playing action. It comes in a later Martin hard case.
