Vintage 1975 Made in Japan Martin D-35 copy.
Solid Spruce top. Mahogany and Maple 3-piece back.
Mahogany sides and neck. Rosewood fretboard and bridge.
Ebony bridge pins. German-made Schaller tuners.
‘SADA YAIRI MADE IN JAPAN’ wooden badge on the inside.
Some clouding in the finish from years of Japanese humidity. Some minor repaired cracks in bridge.
Top has been sanded back and lightly refinished at some stage to increase resonance.
Played in and sounding beautiful! Great projection!
Just set up with 11-52 D’Addario Phosphor Bronze strings.
* Action is a tad high but still very playable. String height is 4 mm at 12th fret on 1st and 6th strings. Ideally would need a neck-reset to get lower.
Includes case
