This is a vintage 1977 Gibson MK-35 Acoustic Flat Top, one of Gibsons lesser known and often underestimated acoustic models. The Mark series were produced between 1975 to 1979
This guitar can be dated based on its serial number, on the back of the headstock, to 1977
Overall condition is very good - is crack free - with some signs of use.
A very nice dynamic fingerpicker and strummer with well balanced sound. This guitar has been played alot by a professional belgian musician and this shows by the play ware on the top and some discoloration of the original guitar finish on the left side
Price - quality this is a great instrument, not only for the player but also for the collector, who doesn't want to live on water and bread for several months after buying his first or another vintage acoustic Gibson ;-)
