That D-35 sounds like a real deal!

I just purchased a Breedlove Acoustic Guitar. I like it better than the Martin's. About a year ago I won a Taylor guitar strap. I had not won anything in over 50 years! Someone else won the guitar! :)

I have a Spanish flamenco guitar made in 1952, with a .9mm string height at the 12th fret. That is so low!

To me guitars, books and friends are similar. I never loan them! :)


>Nice to hear you will get with Tommy. Sure you will enjoy the time together.

>At my weekly Jam last night, a guy brought in a 1972 Martin D-35 he bought new in 1972 (by the way, the list was $610 and he paid $495). That guitar now new is about $3,000. Anyway, he had every piece of paper it came with (sales receipt, ads, price list, letter signed from Martin thanking him for purchase, and more stuff). It was like looking at a piece of history when he opened that case with all that paper work. Guitar was in excellent+ shape. Even though I not a huge Martin fan (personally prefer Taylors) I can see why prople are drawn to them - it had a real "boomy" sound on the bass side that Taylors do not have - at least my two do not (Taylor 515-cw 1997 limited edition model, and Taylor T5 special edition). I was a little surprised to see how low the action was for a 1972 guitar and he said it was that low then when he purchased it. He wanted me to play it for a couple hours, I must say it was a real treat.
