Martin’s 1970s big rosewood bridgeplates, and the '70s D-35 with Folkway Music’s Mark Stutman

Thinking about changing the big bridgeplate in your 70s Martin? Got a 1970s D-35 that you think might sound even better with a 60s-sized bridge plate? You might want to watch this 10-minute video first! Folkway Music's Mark Stutman dives into why it's best to leave the big bridgeplate alone in your 70s Martin Dreadnought, and particularly in your D-35. With 25 years running Folkway Music's world-famous guitar repair shop, Mark's worked on his fair share of Martins from the 1970s. He's learned a thing or two about them and shares some of that knowledge here.
