❌SOLD❌ Martin D-35 Dreadnought Steel String Natural, 2013

On January 19, 2022 /

The Martin D-35 Dreadnought appeared in 1965 but made its catalog debut in 1966, and was a practical response to increasing demand for square-shouldered dreadnoughts. Demand was so high for that specific body design that Gibson altered several round-shouldered models, including the iconic J-45 to the square-shouldered design.
