Sound Pure's Take

Folks, we love old guitars.  Who doesn't?  If it's got the "M" word on the headstock and some years on it, you just come to expect a personality; a character.  No exception here!  This gorgeous '70 D-35 is in remarkably good shape (check out the pics above for isolated shots of what wear there is) and in even better voice--punchy, rich, and bassy for days.  We were thrilled to discover that, aside from a setup, the guitar only need some fretwork to get to a strong 100%.  Neck angle, nut, saddle, bridge, etc. are all happy and healthy for years to come.  And if our eyes don't deceive us, that looks like a strip of Brazilian smack dab in the middle of that back!  A piece of living history!
