Members The EAKLE Posted February 5, 2013 Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 Less than a week after i but a new guitar, Martin announces a Custom guitar by my favorite guitarist.D-35 Seth Avett Custom SignatureI've never been a huge fan of Dreadnoughts, they've always seemed more awkward that a traditional size or small body, but the D-35 is crazy popular. Every time i look for an acoustic i have several people recomend them to me. If they're serious about the materials balancing out the tone, i could definitely enjoy a Dread more. Looks like a pretty great guitar. Maybe when i have the funds i'll look into one of those instead of a Gibson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members recordingtrack1 Posted February 5, 2013 Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 I am a great fan of the D35 (mine is the standard, no frills version) and it is a rock solid instrument, with great tone and is very stable. While there may be other guitars out there that have a bit more sparkle than the D35, it is truly a workhorse guitar and is very strong when playing with other instruments. Even though mine is a 2003, I do not believe it has opened up yet. I believe that over the years it will just get better. It smells great too, LOL (Rosewood).

Members kwakatak Posted February 5, 2013 Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 Not a fan, huh? Personally I think looks should be secondary. I bet that thing growls though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seorie Posted February 5, 2013 Members Share Posted February 5, 2013 "other than the Euro / Adi top / bracing" and what that implys in the sound of the guitar +++It looks imature and silly.but no doubt - it'll sound real good - agreed ?

Members Seorie Posted February 7, 2013 Members Share Posted February 7, 2013 hi Eakle, I hope ya dont mind a slight detour - still on the D35 theme though, the only D35 I've ever played. I had a friend who had a Martin D35 which I accused him of destroying by having an artist friend paint a scene on the front - here it is, The guitar will be worth a 5 or even 6 figure sum now., the artist's paintings now hang in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery .Ah, sometimes ya get it wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
