Occasionally a guitar comes along with an exceptionally fine voice and the owner of whatever store it ends up in just has to buy it for him or herself. Such was the case for Danny Brevard, the founder of Acoustic Pro Musician, when this 1976 Martin D-35 Shaded Top came through the door. When we acquired Danny’s store upon his retirement, he decided to finally part ways with his long-time companion and placed it in our care to sell on his behalf. This guitar is the embodiment of what we have come to expect from the pairing of East Indian Rosewood and Sitka Spruce. It has a balanced voice with great projection that will cut nicely through in a group playing session. It is easy to see why Danny kept this one for himself for so long!

Before we made this guitar available for sale, Stephen Kinnaird, a certified Martin repairman, gave it a beautiful neck reset and full setup. The bridge, saddle, nut, finish and frets are all original. Danny replaced the pickguard (the original is still in the case) with a TorTis® pickguard and also installed upgraded Gotoh Gold open-backed tuners. The guitar is fabulous and the price is right. Original “Blue” Martin case included!

This guitar is tons of fun - a huge amount of tone for your dollar. Pick it, strum it, it won't lead you astray. This thing is a work horse that plays exactly how you want it to every time.
A classic looking Martin dread with a sunburst top that is very nicely done. This one has already been played in.
