MARTIN manufactured the D-35S between 1966 and 1993. The D-35S had a rosewood body with three-piece back and D-35 appointments. The three-piece back of the D-35s allowed the use of more narrow pieces of precious Brazilian rosewood which was used until 1969: Indian rosewood was used thereafter. The top was spruce construction, selected for both tone and beauty. Neck of mahogany with slotted headstock, 1.78“ at the nut and joined to the folk-style Dreadnought body at the 12th fret. Ebony bridge and fingerboard. Lacquer finish, polished to a mirror-like gloss.

| 1971 | $650 | excellent | Dave | I'm the original owner. I've never played professionally. This has always been at home. I have paperwork on the following but still looking for it: In the late 90's I sent it back to Martin. They reset the neck and pick guard, refretted it, replaced the crappy Grovers and installed a Baggs pickup under the saddle. I have the original Baggs Preamp too I took it to Hogeye music Evanston IL in about 2012 (certified Martin repair shop) just to have him look at it I was picking up my turn of century Lidwick tenor banjo he had done some work on anyway. About the D35-S he said "Excellent condition" so that's what I'm going with. |
