@alsguitars51272 ай бұрын
@@makssila3572 Ease of play would be no difference. Neck is the same as is the action spec. D35 may be a little more responsive with light strings due to the lighter top bracing. You need to play both. If you have the wallet for it, the HD-28 gets you the lighter bracing with a two piece rosewood back. Also one to definitely try in your search. Good luck. Trying is more fun than buying.

@@makssila3572 The street legend is just a D28 that’s been distressed and the finish worn. I’m of the camp that you buy shiny and pretty and if you use it and get honest wear and dings you end up with something that’s yours.

What are the differences in the D-35 over the years till now? Besides what you've already mentioned.
@alsguitars51273 ай бұрын
@@richhansen8874 That’s a big question. End of 1969 Brazilian back and sides change to Indian rosewood. Some with a single Brazilian piece in 1970. Pick guards get lacquered over in the 70s, causing no end of finish trouble. Necks stay pretty hefty in size. 80s the pick guard issue ends. 70s offers the D35S which is a 12 fret neck variant. 1990s the necks get thinner profile. Very good quality in the 90s though the 70/80s rosewood looks more attractive. 2000s stay the same but the Ebony boards no longer have that jet black look. Tuners change back and forth but not really an issue. Lots of variants or special editions along the way. The HD-35 copies the look of the HD-28 and in theory has a higher quality top. Hope that helps a bit. The D-35 to my ear is a great guitar but less consistent than a D18 or D28. I’d guess because a lot of different woods come together on them. I like to play a D35 before I buy it as they have a wide range of sound from guitar to guitar where I’d mail order a D18 as they are all close enough to be happy.

@alsguitars51275 ай бұрын
Oil and grease. Yours may have a grease fitting on the radius arm as well as fittings on the pivot points of the motor for left right and up down. You need a grease gun to lube those. There also may be an exposed rod that slides into a tube on boat side of engine. The surface of that rod should be greased all the way around the whole length. Make sure the steering cables are not pinched or sharply bent and oil them with light machine oil like bicycle or motorcycle cables in the sheath. That should ease the steering quite a bit.

I don't know how intense the light is that you use but I have never seen a cedar soundboard allow any light through. In fact many people use the light test to determine if a soundboard is cedar or spruce when there is any doubt. I only use a light that is no more powerful than a standard 25 W lightbulb, so perhaps you have something far more powerful or that utilizes a different spectrum. Some Ramirez Guitars from this time were made with redwood instead of cedar so that would be another consideration. The sides of Ramirez 1a and 2a guitars from that time were lined with cypress inside. At any rate, it is a beautiful Guitar!
