Martin D-35 Acoustic Guitar

The Martin D-35 is a legendary Dreadnought acoustic guitar known for its powerful projection, rich low end, and distinctive three-piece back construction. Its solid spruce top combines with solid East Indian rosewood back and sides to produce a full, balanced voice with deep bass, clear trebles, and complex overtones, making it an excellent choice for strumming, flatpicking, songwriting, recording, and live performance.

The D-35 features Martin's forward-shifted, scalloped X-bracing, allowing the spruce soundboard to respond with impressive volume, resonance, and dynamic range. Its 25.4-inch scale length provides strong projection and articulation, while the Modified Low Oval neck profile, High-Performance Taper, and 1 3/4-inch nut width offer a comfortable and familiar playing experience.

A defining feature of the D-35 is its three-piece East Indian rosewood back, which gives the guitar its distinctive appearance and contributes to its rich, resonant character. The guitar features an aging-toned gloss spruce top, gloss rosewood back and sides, an ebony fingerboard and bridge, Style 35 mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, antique white binding, and a faux tortoise pickguard. Nickel open-gear tuning machines with butterbean knobs and a Style 35 multi-stripe rosette complete its classic appearance. A molded hardshell case is included.
