Built in collaboration with Seth Avett of The Avett Brothers, a high-altitude Swiss spruce top is featured for the top of this 14-fret dreadnought Martin D-35. Harvested in winter months to produce a lighter-weight wood with better stiffness, this wood features a tight and even grain. This guitar also sports three-piece back composed of East Indian rosewood with a flamed koa center wedge. Seth himself designed the copper snowflake inlay placed in this guitar's ebony fretboard.

"Martin D-35 Seth Avett Guitar"

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
I purchased this guitar a few months ago and it is everthing I dreamed it would be for a Martin. Sounds great and feels great to your hands. Intonation is perfect anywhere on the frett board. I purchased a left handed guitar. Had to custom order, it takes a few months but it is worth the wait.

Musical Background:

Jam at home and at Church. Strictly for my own enjoyment.

Musical Style:

Christian and country.
