I am the original owner of a Martin D35, 1976. This guitar drips beautiful notes. I have had the bracing repaired once ten years ago. I will never sell, but am curious of value. I have the original case and a martin pick up which was put in around 1993. Joe Durbin Baton Rouge
The value of a Martin D12-35 guitar today is not vested in what the owner wants to assign to it, but more so on what the market buyer is willing to pay. There is considerable inventory in the marketplace of $4,000 to $$7,000 "valued" D12-35s from the 1960s, yet very few change hands at those prices.
The other ingredient necessary to determine actual value will ALWAYS be the actual condition of the subject instrument.
Until there is some register or universal log established for recording the exchange pricing of these Guitars, we are left with applying a "best guess" valuation to the guitars and then looking for that buyer willing to pay that amount.
Perhaps we can start that register right here?

If it is in excellent condition it is realistically worth around $2000. You might get a little more. Unfortunately, they are not as collectable as D-28's.
i have seen them go for up to $2900 dollars.
what is the value of the Goya G518 did Martin make this Guitar
$14,000,000,000 < sorry dude :(
One cannot give the value without a thorough evaluation of the guitar. I have a friend who has a Martin guitar from the period 1850-1870 (estimated at the Martin factory). Martin did not estimate its value, but an independent estimate put the value in the $5-7K range. To the right collector, this guitar might be worth much more.
Around 500 - 600 dollars new.

According to The Martin Guitar Site that serial number was used in 1967. Unfortunately the value of the guitar includes a lot more than just the serial number, the condition the guitar is in, the model, the wood used and other factors all contribute to value. Take it to a few guitar shops, they will be able to give you an idea of value.
Around 500 - 600 dollars new.
$4500 -10000 depending on condition

According to the Martin Guitar website the guitar with that serial number was made in 1985.
I got mine for £2150 but I've seen them go for a lot more than that.
