This 1967 Martin D-35 is a stunning example of why the "Three-Piece Back" remains one of the most legendary designs in the Martin catalog. Falling squarely in the golden era before Martin transitioned away from Brazilian Rosewood in late 1969, this instrument features the highly coveted, old-growth tonewood that collectors and players chase with a passion.

The Magic of Brazilian Rosewood

The 1967 D-35 is a masterclass in tonal complexity. Because the D-35 utilizes 1/4" bracing (thinner than the 5/16" found on the D-28), it is inherently more responsive and bass-prominent. When you pair that lighter bracing with the Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, you get a "piano-like" depth that is simply unattainable with modern Indian Rosewood.

Tonal Profile:

• Low End: Massive, resonant, and warm, providing a rich foundation for any playing style.
• Highs: The "glassy" and "bell-like" trebles that only Brazilian Rosewood can provide.
• Complexity: Incredible overtones and sustain that bloom after the note is struck.

Condition & Authenticity

This guitar has been played, loved, and properly maintained. It shows typical, attractive playwear near the armrest area and around the pickguard, giving it that honest vintage character we all look for.

• The Pickguard: The original pickguard has been replaced. Most importantly, it was caught in time—there are no pickguard cracks (the common "B-string crack" often caused by shrinking acetate guards). Seeing a clean top like this from the mid-60s is a significant win for long-term structural integrity.
• The Neck & Frets: This D-35 has been professionally refretted, making it an absolute dream to play. The action is nice and low, offering a fast, comfortable feel across the entire fingerboard.
• Originality: Aside from the replaced pickguard, a fresh set of frets, and non-original bridge pins, the instrument remains in original condition.
• Case: It comes housed in its original Martin hardshell case featuring the iconic green interior.

Whether you are a flatpicker looking for that extra "thump" or a songwriter seeking a lush, orchestral accompaniment, this '67 D-35 delivers the quintessential Brazilian Martin experience.
