Another HD-35 thread

EnFuego · Unread post by **EnFuego** » Tue Jul 04, 2006 3:38 pm

What is a good price for a new HD-35? I found a few threads about it, but they were from about 2003, so I don't know if they have recently gone up or not. Would $2K be reasonable, or am I now looking at $2100+? Thanks.

I'm not sure what they're going for nowadays, but call up a few places and find out their asking price. That'll give you a good idea. Good places to call are

Elderly – 877-374-8391
Buffalo Brothers Guitars – 760-434-4567

I was planning on calling elderly and maurys tomorrow. I'm just being impatient while they are closed for the holiday.

Thanks for the numbers too.

Aren't you happy with the Lowden?

I'm not sure yet if I would sell it to buy the Martin or not. I have a problem of buying guitars and selling guitars. I pretty much just started looking at some Martin's in the past week, and don't know if I can part with it because it is great for fingerstyle and flatpicking...it even holds up well under strumming. That said, I like the boominess of the bass in the martins and the dread body style too.

In the end, I will probably stick with the Lowden, but I have been playing a few of the Martins lately and they are great guitars.

Maury over at maurysmusic.com offers 42% off of list price. The list price for an HD-35 is $3549 so with the discount it will be $2059. Maury is a great guy to deal with and he offers the best price you will find out there. Hope that helps.

well, i did it. I have a feeling that I will regret selling my Lowden, and I have a feeling that I will buy another one someday (hopefully sooner than later). But, I decided that while I can really only afford 1 instrument, I wanted a sitka-topped dread instead of a small body, cedar-topped guitar.

Mine is the one on the bottom of this page that says, "Mark's HD28V"

http://www.maurysmusic.com/your_guitar_setup

I had a greven pickguard installed on it for cosmetics. I know most people probably won't care at all, but I figured since I started the thread, I might as well follow through on it.

Damn, I love the look of a pure Martin acoustic!

So you bought the HD-28V instead of the D-35?

yeah, I was originally looking at the HD35, but the more I played the HD28V the more I like the neck sound of it, so I went that way instead.
