Martin D-35 1975 Natural
50 year old Martin D-35. Well played, has a big sound, was professionally set up a couple of years and hasn't been played that much since. I bought it at that time so I don't really know its history. It's a uniquely light, yellowish rosewood back and sides and the pickguard was replaced with a lighter tortoise color - the original black one is in the case. Has a K&K pure mini pickup installed with volume control. Has scratches on top near the bottom of fretboard from nails or a pick. Discoloration spot on back shoulder. Old strap that locks on the upper strap button. It's a unique, great sounding guitar with its own personality but I've just been playing smaller body guitars for a while so it's time to let go. Comes with non original road runner case. Here's the specs:
