MGR/Rich « Martin D-35 »
Published on 12/04/03 at 15:00Bought from a (good) friend for $500 altho it needed some work.
Once I added a few hundred dollars to enhance the bracing, bridge plate, add inlay, and other minor enhancements, it plays like no other guitar I've ever owned. Deep, rich tone, and after adding a Sunrise pick-up, the quality of this guitars tone amplifies quite nicely. I've since played new D-35's, which are also very fine instruments, but I would talk to a qualified guitar craftsman to enhance the beauty and sound.
There are no dislikes. I recommend the D-35 to any advanced guitarist.
