One of only 101 D-35S's made by Martin in 1968, this guitar has been meticulously cared for and as a result has remained in fantastic condition. It's received a few new parts, including new Waverly tuners, tortoise pickguard, K&K pickup, and Bob Colosi custom bone bridge pins and strap button. In addition, this guitar has had a back crack repaired, the bridge reglued, a touch-up to the top finish, and the frets dressed, all done by former Gryphon Stringed Instruments repairman Alex Glasser, now of Iron Horse Instruments. If you want to take home a piece of history that plays like new, this is the guitar of your dreams.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
