I’m a lefty and found it many years ago at a shop. It was stamped D-35 L at the usual spot. I contacted Martin and they explained the employee deal. It’s identical in every detail to a factory model other than not having the headstock decal. It had extra nice Indian rosewood to be post Brazilian. Me? I can replace a bridge and other minor things but not a build!

I too am a lefty

In 1980 I walked into a music store and saw a brand new Martin D-35L hanging on the wall. I picked it for 5 minutes, paid the man his money and walked out. $950 with case if I remember correctly. I still own that guitar.

Used to be finding great lefty instruments was needle in a haystack stuff. Today the builds are fantastic and good value.
Over the decades many guitars have come and gone.
That D-35L is one guitar I just can't see myself parting with. For an acoustic guitar, its all you would ever want.


One of my bigger regrets is selling a factory original lefty 1937 000-28 Martin. They were marked with an S then instead of an L. But the biggest regret music wise is selling a 1958 original Gibson Flying V that I bought for $350 via a local newspaper add for an "old guitar" in 1974. I later sold it for five grand and thought I'd done well. Over $200,000 nowadays.
