Martin D-35 Dreadnought Guitar

Martin D-35 Dreadnought Guitar Review



Martin D-35 Dreadnought Guitar Feature

  • Dark warmth and bold projection comes from a body made of East Indian Rosewood
  • A low profile neck made of genuine Mahogany
Martin D-35 DreadnoughtThe D-35 was introduced in 1965 in response to a shortage of Brazilian rosewood stock large enough to finish 2-piece Dreadnought-sized backs. The resultant three-piece back -- triangular center wedge and matching outer "wings" -- follows a centuries-old tradition among European and Spanish luthiers of building multi-piece backs. Martin's three-piece back design is especially striking. Extra wide bindings, bound ebony fingerboard and ebony bridge add to the distinctiveness of this model; but the appeal of the D-35 is more than just visual.Tonally, the three-piece back produces a particularly strong bass, making the D-35 ideal for rhythm playing. To accentuate the treble, Martin uses lighter 1/4" top braces which give the D-35 its characteristic warmth and balance.
