  • I bought this at Treasure Factory, a thrift shop here in Japan. It's a really well done knock-off of a Martin dreadnought. It cost me all of 9,000円 with tax (about $80).
    The abalone inlay is fake, but the wood seems to be good quality. The nut and saddle are bone, the tuning pegs are not stock and there's a pickup in it, so it was probably upgraded a bit by the previous owner. It has a nice looking three piece back (rosewood/maple/rosewood) and the fretboard is really easy on the fingers, but the neck still has that beefy Martin feel.
    I see a lot of knock-off guitars in Japan and they're generally ok at best, but every once in a while...
    Recorded with a SonTronics Saturn.

      As far as I know these were all made with natural spruce tops back then.

    Sounds pretty good considering the poor mic placement.

      Didn't feel like setting up a bunch of stuff for this. Just didn't want only a cell phone mic on it. 😅

    It's a copy of the Martin D35

      No it's not. A D45 would have hexagon inlays on the fretboard plus abalone down the sides and front of the fingerboard extension on the body.
