The Martin D-35 is a standout in Martin’s iconic dreadnought lineup, known for its rich history and unmistakable tone. Featuring a solid spruce top and its signature three-piece East Indian rosewood back, the D-35 delivers powerful projection with deep, resonant bass — perfect for any musical setting, from stage to studio. The forward-shifted, non-scalloped bracing enhances the guitar’s resonance, offering a balanced, full-bodied sound.
Introduced in 1965, the D-35 was born from Martin’s innovation during a time of rosewood scarcity. By using smaller pieces of wood to craft its now-famous three-piece back, Martin created a guitar with a unique voice that caught the attention of legends like Johnny Cash and Bruce Springsteen. The D-35’s timeless tone continues to captivate musicians today.
With an ebony fingerboard, select hardwood neck, and a bone nut and saddle, this guitar feels as premium as it sounds. The antique white binding, mother-of-pearl inlays, and vintage-style appointments give the D-35 a classic look with modern playability thanks to its High Performance Taper neck.
