Martin D35 Dreadnought guitar


The Martin D35 soon became a great success after it's 
introduction. Bound striped ebony fingerboard and of 
course a spruce top. Its' number is 411050. That 
dates the guitar 1978.

Three piece back:
Not very traditional but running out of supply of
bigger pieces for the backs of these guitars, someone 
came up with this idea though not entirely new. 
Antonio de Torres, the famous luthier of the 19th 
century allready used more pieces for back and
soundboard not even symmetrically placed! Along 
with the tinier bracing these models are sounding 
better to my ears compared to a D28.
