MGR/Anonymous « Martin D-35 »
Published on 06/23/01 at 15:00I bought this guitar brand new in 1970 for $350, which also included the case.
When I purchased it, Martin was just running out of their stock of Brazilian rosewood, (because of the fire) so mine is unique in that the back center panel and sides were made of the Brazilian and the other 2 back panels are Indian rosewood.
The only thing I don't like about my D35 is that I wish at the time I purchased a D45 for a couple of hundred dollars more. I find that I'm partial to all the abalone and fancies.
My guitar was constructed with the same excellent craftsmanship that all Martin's have.
The only work I've done to my Martin was to hand sand the top braces to a scallop for more tone and power. To accomplish this I used my 1940 Martin 0018's braces as a sort of pattern.
