Motherofpearl Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Played this unbelievable guitar today. Still thinking of buying it. Best guitar I've played. It's a D35 have any of you had the opportunity to try one? Here's the pics I do have a sound clip I recorded in the store but I don't know how to post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Definitely not a standard D35 Great looking guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted January 13, 2014 Author Share Posted January 13, 2014 Looks nice but man you should hear it sing. I'd love to email one of you guys the soundbite and maybe you can add it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Looks nice but man you should hear it sing. I'd love to email one of you guys the soundbite and maybe you can add it? I hope someone does. I'd love to hear it. What's the deal with the extra features? Have always had a hankering for a D35. Not fussed on MOP , but i love the back of that one .Congratulations.

fortyearspickn Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Purty. Really interesting seeing through the sound hole the splice seams where they inset that wavy piece of wood on the back. That looks like something that could make me stray from the fold. If she sounds as good as she looks, better we not hear it here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 "The back is blowing my mind - let's hear this queen sing", said the old D-35 man. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombywoof Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Cool look. Generally I think most D-35s sound like turds (I am not going to describe it, use your imagination). But I just played one made in 1970 which I really liked. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 333 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 There was a nice feature on Martin guitars on CBS Sunday Morning this week. My link By the way, you could probably substitute the word Gibson for Martin throughout much of this feature and it would still be accurate!

bobouz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 There was a nice feature on Martin guitars on CBS Sunday Morning this week. Thanks for posting the link Red. Will have to break out my Best of the Spoonful CD for a listen while exercising tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 There was a nice feature on Martin guitars on CBS Sunday Morning this week. Caught that one. I thought the early Martin with the Stauffer headstock was cool as it gets. C.F. Martin actually worked for Johann Stauffer before migrating to th U.S. in 1833. It is a a good thing one of the few rules I follow is not to judge any guitar by a sound clip (the other is never take anyone's advice on what guitar to buy) or else I would have quickly dismissed that Sebastion Signature koa guitar as not being one of Martin's better efforts. But then again, at $6K I don't think it is going to be something I would have to worry about any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdd707 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 After looking for 2 or 3 years for a Martin (and buying and selling several Gibsons along the way) I bought a '06 D-35 just a couple of months ago. So far a great decision on my part. Sounds great and plays great (playability has been my problem with Martins ... overly thick necks for my taste). I'm still a Gibson man so not giving up any Gibbys (well probably the J35) but I hope you buy it if you can and enjoy that very beautiful D-35 as much as I'm liking my plain jane. Happy pickin'!
