Description
As a radical exodus from Martin's previous guitars, the D-35's 1965 inception was marked with a unique 3-piece back. Though the initial intention behind the design was to efficiently use up smaller pieces of wood, it gave the D-35 a distinctive tone and a striking aesthetic. This remarkable acoustic carries on in the D-35's longstanding tradition of power and quality, making it perfect for players seeking a top-notch dreadnought with a big, bold sound.
From the moment you first strum the D-35, you'll notice it has an exceptional bass response and clear, articulate highs, courtesy of its Indian Rosewood back and sides. Its spruce top adds punch and clarity to its sound, and its forward-shifted X-bracing enhances its volume and sustain. Players will also love this model's Modified Low Oval neck and bound ebony fingerboard, which play incredibly well for a wide range of styles and techniques.
In addition to its outstanding tone and feel, the D-35 has a traditional elegance that makes it a perfect fit for any performance setting. From its multi-stripe back inlays to its antique white binding and mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, this acoustic has an understated beauty that'll impress all types of players.
Complete with a molded hardshell case for protection, the Martin D-35 is a time-honored acoustic with a mighty sound. If you've been searching for a premium Martin that can fill out the low-end in band settings or stand fine on its own, the D-35 is an excellent choice.
