Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: The guitar was humidified to correct low-humidity dryness and stabilize the instrument. A setup was performed. All frets were leveled, re-crowned, and polished. The binding was repaired. No further work was needed. 

The Martin D-35 50th Anniversary is a special dreadnought that blends classic Martin power with a beautifully refined, celebratory touch. Its Sitka spruce top and forward-shifted bracing deliver strong projection and quick response, while Indian rosewood back and sides add lush overtones and that deep, piano-like low end D-35 fans love. The Modified Low Oval neck feels smooth and comfortable, making long sessions effortless. Elegant appointments and anniversary prestige give it an added sense of occasion, and it comes with the original hard-shell case for safe keeping. A timeless, collectible instrument, this D-35 is a meaningful long-term investment built to open up and sing for decades.
