1975 Guild D-35
Description
Summary: The D-35, introduced in 1968, was Guild's lower/midline Dreadnought flat top in the late '60's. It has the same woods and features (mahogany body and neck with a spruce top) as the earlier D-40 but plainer trim - visually much like a Martin D-18. This guitar is an early example of the model, the serial number indicates it was built mid-1975. The D-35 was a successful model right away but was soon simplified further and lost its headstock overlay as production was transferred to Guild's new Westerly factory in 1969. This guitar has some cosmetic issues but still plays and sounds fantastic.
Body: Spruce top with Mahogany back/sides.
Neck: Mahogany with a Rosewood fingerboard, 25.5” scale length, 1 11/16” nut width, pearl dot inlays, 20 frets/14 open frets.
Pickups/Hardware: Fishman Prefix electronics, unique closed gear tuning keys, Rosewood bridge, white endpins, double pickguard.
Cosmetics: This guitar has a ton of beautiful finish checking on the top/back of the guitar. The pickguards have regular wear. It looks like someone tried to add electronics and drilled a hole into the body. This is something that could be repaired. The rest of the guitar has various nicks, dings, and scratches. Overall, this guitar does have some cosmetic issues, but it sounds great acoustic or plugged in, and it plays very well.
Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has inspected, setup, and restrung this instrument with a new set of strings. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functional, and the action has been setup low and comfortable. The frets are in great shape with no major grooves or divots from use and it plays beautifully up and down the fretboard with no dead spots or choking out.
Weight: 5.36 lbs.
Case: This guitar ships without a case, professionally packaged, and full insured.
