Visit my 91 year old friend in assisted living each Tuesday afternoon. This weeks visit was greeted with, "I got some sad news." He has a 1975 D35 in sad sad shape and he just got one of those heavy mobile electric carts like you see handicapped people in at grocery stores. Parked in front of his D35 and cart was in foward when he thought reverse-yep, you get the picture. He just crushed the top below the bridge and bridge cracked. Some how it tightened/locked all the strings against the frets. Are there any interchangable parts that I might save and use on my 69 D40? He loves to strum and sing old songs and I encourage him each Tuesday. I am on the lookout for another guitar for him.
The D35 top is kinlin.
