Martin D35 Standard Series Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar

The Martin D35 Standard Series is an incredible guitar with understated looks that don’t detract from the incredible sound of this rather special guitar. The solid Sitka Spruce top with Indian Rosewood back and sides represent a tried and tested combination of tonewoods that offer a full range of tones from delicate and light to dark and subtle through to powerful and energetic.

Some guitars ‘lend themselves’ to a certain style of playing be it fingerpicking, strumming etc. Not so with the Martin D35 because it has all the dynamic range you could wish for and lets your playing style do the talking! Playability on the Martin D35 is superb as you would expect from a premium instrument from a Brand like Martin, with the low profile neck ensuring a comfortable positive grip.

Solid Construction

The Martin D35 has a solid Sitka spruce top with glossy finish, special East Indian rosewood for the polished back and sides, and genuine ebony for the fingerboard and bridge. With its rich, resonant warmth and punchy volume, the Martin D35 is particularly well-suited to music styles requiring loud, powerful rhythm accompaniment. You even get a Martin case so its easy to keep your new guitar in the best condition wherever music takes you.

Here’s what Martin have to say about the D35

The workingman’s Dreadnought.

A distinctive three-piece back and antique white binding around the fingerboard set it apart. Expressive quarter-inch straight bracing gives it balance and power for any situation. Premium East Indian rosewood, Sitka spruce, and a timeless Dreadnought shape have made it the choice for pickers, strummers, and players from JOHNNY CASH to Seth Avett.
