***PSA ***Rare Martin Jumbo on Reverb
I am not affiliated with the seller in any way, but if you are a fan of Jumbos, a fan of Martin, and someone who likes a rarity...
Search Reverb for the Martin Grand J-35e. It’s one of 111. I love mine. They are similarly sized to a Gibson SJ-200 but cost less. 1 3/4 nut, standard scale 14 fret Jumbo Martin! I sold mine 2 years ago, regrets abound! and when one popped up in March I bought it. Someone should go get that ASAP.

I didn’t add the link cause I can’t speak for the seller. But it’s a great model Martin if you don’t mind big guitars.

Great guitar and I'd like to own one but I have some doubts about the blurb,
'Having been extremely successful with the matching full-jumbo body 12-string that preceded this' Extremely successful? huh? They only made 231 Martin Grand J12-40E Special 12-strings over 3 years then dropped it completely from production. I have one.

Although I'm a big fan of jumbos, several dealers have told me that they're the most sluggish selling body styles, especially these days, with aging boomers gravitating to smaller bodies.
Martin itself has struggled with jumbos, including the 12-string version that the seller is hyping.

It is listed as "mint", but it looks like someone added a strap button which disqualifies it as mint.

Anyway, as Cliff pointed out, there weren’t many of these particular Martin jumbos made with Style 35 appointments like this, and anyone who’s possibly interested should check it out.
Thanks for posting about it, Cliff. whm

I would not say “extremely successful” and “rare” about the same guitar I don’t think unless it was far older I guess right?

I played one of the baritone versions on my one and so far only visit to Elderly Instruments a few years ago. It was a good-sounding baritone, which kind of surprised me; most of the factory-built acoustic baritone guitars that I’ve had a chance to play have been kind of ho hum, technically okay but uninspiring from a musical standpoint.
Not that Martin, though. The day I was at Elderly they actually had two Martin baritones: this one and a Pete Seeger model. Of the two I preferred the one based on this J-35 model. whm
