About This Guitar
1977 Martin D-35 Ambertone w/ Original Case #390333
This guitar is well conserved for it's age! It has a great patina which shows signs of play wear but not abuse. There is no damage or repairs to report.
The saddle is low, but the guitar is setup for normal play and rings true. It would probably sound even better with a neck reset, but it isn't neccessary to enjoy it today. The original pickguard has been replaced.
There is a K&K pickup installed on the oversized EIR bridgeplate. There is an old battery holder still attached to the neck block from a previous pickup.
The case is in great condition!
