My first "good guitar" was a 1976 D35S. These old S models are really special--great tone and huge volume. If Rob owns it, you can rest assured, it is a good one. I speak from much first-hand experience.

What's with the back crack?

That is not a crack. You are seeing the seam. The bracing inside is directly behind what you are seeing. It is structurally solid.
