The back and sides are crafted from East Indian rosewood, providing a balanced and full-bodied sound that is perfect for both strumming and fingerpicking styles.

The guitar features a sleek and comfortable mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard that is inlaid with elegant mother-of-pearl dots. The neck is joined to the body with a classic dovetail joint, providing incredible sustain and resonance.

The vintage D-35 Martin is fitted with premium Grover tuners, which ensure precise and stable tuning, while the bone nut and saddle provide exceptional sustain and clarity. The guitar also features a stylish black pickguard, adding a touch of sophistication to its already stunning appearance. A great playing example with a beautiful, balanced tonality. The top sees some etching to the lacquer, likely caused by some sheet music stored in its case as well as some oxidisation to the chrome machine heads.
