1981 Martin D-35 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

Kept in amazing condition and very well maintained. Hard to believe this guitar is 45 years old. Looks to be played very minimally. No dents or dings. Some normal pick scratches on the pickguard. No visible fretwear. Structurally solid. Neck is straight and action is very comfortable. Definitely one of the more immaculate vintage guitars we've seen. Comes with original hardshell case. Case does show some wear on the outside.

• Body: Dreadnought, with a 2-piece spruce top and a distinctive 3-piece Indian Rosewood back.
