Martin’s Carpathian Spruce and Sinker Mahogany 12 String Companion to the New D-35 David Gilmour

Inspired by Gilmour’s 1971 D12-28

D-35 David Gilmour 12 String specs include: 14-fret dreadnought body size with all-solid tonewoods including sinker mahogany sides and three-piece back, Carpathian spruce top with 5/16” non-scalloped Sitka spruce bracing; maple bridge plate; unbound short-scale sinker mahogany neck with traditional hand-fitted dovetail neck joint, standard Martin 12 String neck shape and vintage Martin brand stamp on back of headstock; ebony fingerboard with High Performance Taper, 1-13/16″ at the bone nut, 2-1/4″ at the 12th fret; David Gilmour dot position markers of abalone pearl and yellow side dots; ebony belly bridge with compensated, drop-in bone saddle and 2-5/16″ string spacing; closed chrome tuning machines with small buttons; Old Style Martin script logo on a Madagascar rosewood headstock face plate; Vintage Gloss finish with Aging top toner

“I’ve had six-string guitar only, but the D-35 David Gilmour 12 String makes wish I could own one of the fifty being made. The singular tonewood combination of sinker mahogany and Carpathian spruce provides the abundant high-end sparkle and overall depth and definition ideal for the lavish harmonics and extended overtone potential inherent in a twelve-string guitar, without the dark and muddy bottom end heard from rosewood.”
