Martin D12-35 50th Anniversary LE Review

Inspired by the 1965 original 1965, the D12-35 50th is a modern interpretation of grandeur.

A limited edition, 183 instruments will be made, equal to that first year’s production.

Specs include: All solid-wood construction; 12-fret dreadnought shape; Indian rosewood sides and three-piece back; European spruce top with M1 level Vintage Tone System treatment, including maple bridge plate; 5/16” Sitka spruce bracing; grained ivoroid binding; bound mahogany neck with solid headstock, 24.9” scale, 2-13/16” width at nut, modified low oval profile; ebony fingerboard and bridge with 2-5/16” string spacing; nickel open-geared tuners with butterbean knobs.

This is the Harley hog of guitars, agile but oh so powerful. I love how it handles across intricate fingerstyle passages and wide open straightaways of full out strumming.”
