with a L.R.Baggs "Lyric" pickup in it...I'll be able to record directly into my computer.....It should arrive early this week....
 
Here's a pic of the guitar....
 

Congrats!  That is a beautiful guitar and I am sure sounds wonderful.  I get my new Epiphone acoustic/electric this Wednesday.  Fun and exciting for both of us.

Holy smoke that's awesome!

Excellent Martin!  Congratulation's, you will love the tone of this instrument.  I will be curious to see what you think of recording that pickup direct.  I still have not found a accoustic pickup that records better than mic'ing the actual tone wood of the instrument. 

My Taylor direct sounds 'OK' in a mix, but certainly not if it needs to be 'up front' and the focus of the track.
I do like direct if I'm noodling and just trying to work an idea or part out.
Solo guitar, not gonna work, for me anyway.
D-35 still a 3 piece back? I think I have that right.

Looks nice!

I just did a simple direct in recording test of the Lyric pickup, passed with flying colors.

Here's a rough basic sound recording of the D-35 and Lyric direct into the computer...no added eq or effects....

That sounds pretty good for a pickup - not sure I would record a solo guitar part with it if a good mic setup was available, but I was surprised at how natural it sounds. Have you tried miking it up and mixing a little of the direct sound in with it?
