1975 Martin D-35 Acoustic Guitar

Description: 1975 Martin D35 and Original Case $2800.00This guitar is a half century old. Some things only get better with age. A Martin Guitar is just one of those things. I’m listing this guitar as good but I’d say it’s somewhere between good and excellent. My Martin tech said that it’s probably the third best sounding D35 he’s ever played. It has some finish damage to the sounding board from microphones over the past 50 years. It has had one repair to the sounding board near the neck that was done in California by a Martin technician in 1977. The metal hinges and and latches on the original case do have some corrosion from the salty California air but that's to be expected. I recently had the neck reset, the fretboard leveled and frets replaced. A new bone nut and new saddle was added at that time. The invoice for that work is in the photos. It was several hundred dollars but it should be done every 50 years or so. The saddle has plenty of material to lower the action if you wanted to. My current Martin technician looked at the old repair and said it’s in good shape and doesn’t affect the sound. Why am I selling it? Just not playing it much anymore. Should go to someone who can appreciate it. Keep in mind that if you are looking at a less expensive D-35 of this age, the one thing you don't know is the condition of the neck. I believe that any issues, in regards to the neck and as shown on the invoice, have already been addressed.
