This well-kept Martin has received all the maintenance due its vintage including a neck reset, refret, and a compensated bone saddle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTonewoods include East Indian rosewood back and sides, an X-braced Sitka spruce top, mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard and bridge. Unique to the D-35 among Martin's dreadnought body guitars, the instrument features lighter 1\/4\" bracing, as opposed to the 5\/16\" bracing seen on its counterpart, the D-28. This feature, combined with the D-35's unique three-piece rosewood back, delivers a sound that is lively and articulate. The instrument offers tons of projection, with Martin's signature piano-like clarity and a respectable volume ceiling. This D-35 is also notably warm and punchy, with a broad low end. Weighing 4lbs 7oz, this D-35 has been professionally set up here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e-Shape: Soft V, measuring .865” 1st fret, .990” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e-Fretboard: Ebony, dot inlays, faint finger wear behind frets 1-2\u003cbr\u003e-Frets: Slender, refret, no wear\u003cbr\u003e-Scale Length: 25.4”\u003cbr\u003e-Nut: 1 11\/16”\u003cbr\u003e-Tuners: Martin-branded (Schaller)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-Wood: Sitka Spruce, Indian Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e-Bracing: X, straight\u003cbr\u003e-Bridge: Ebony belly, rosewood bridge plate, compensated bone saddle (modern)\u003cbr\u003e-Pickguard: Replacement (modern)\u003cbr\u003e-Serialization: Stamp on heel block dates to ‘78\u003cbr\u003e-Marquetry: Multi-ply binding, simple rosette\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a crack-free, well-kept Martin; the gloss lacquer finish exhibits checking on top, and cosmetic wear is limited to some small dings on top at the lower bout and a few minor scratches on the back and rims.
