Guitars Martin 6-String | Martin D-35 Standard Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Aged Toner

The Martin D-35 Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Was Birthed In The Folk Music Boom Of The 1960S. Designed In 1965, The D-35 Was Created Because Martin Was Experiencing A Shortage Of Rosewood Wide Enough To Build Their Famous D-28. Known For Its Three-Piece Back, With A Contrasting Center Wedge, The D-35 Quickly Caught On With Musicians That Preferred The Cosmetic Look Of A Three-Piece Back. Along With The Cosmetic Changes To The Appearance, The D-35 Offered A Different Sound And Tone To The Famous D-28.

Constructed With 1/4″ Bracing, The D-35 Had A Slight Bump In The Bottom End When Compared To The Stiffer 5/16″ Bracing Of The D-28. Over Time Players Really Began To Latch On To The Tonal Variation, And As A Result, The D-35 Quickly Became An Industry Standard Among Players And Collectors Alike.

Vintage Tone Meets Modern Playability
Today, The D-35 Standard Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar Has Been Refined To Combine The Best Of The Vintage 1930’S Appointments, With The Playability Of A Modern Guitar. Like The D-35 From The 1960S, The Bracing Is 1/4″ In Thickness, But The Placement Of The X Brace Has Been Forward-Shifted To Be Located One Inch From The Soundhole. Now, The D-35 Standard Has A Very Even Bass, With Just The Right Blend Of The Mid And High-End Frequencies. The Sound Is Everything You Would Expect From A Fine-Tuned Martin Acoustic Guitar.

Playability
Playability Has Been Dramatically Improved By Changing The Neck To A Modified Low Oval, With A Performing Artist Taper And 1-3/4″ Nut. The Wider String Spacing And Comfortable Neck Profile Allow A Player To Move Up And Down The Neck With Ease. And, Unlike The More Traditional Feeling Acoustic Guitars Of The Past, Newer D-35 Standard Models Will Have Familiar Vintage Tone With A Playing Feel That Will Be More Similar To That Of An Electric Guitar.

Other Appointments
Along With An Amazing Sound And Feel, This D-35 Standard Dreadnought Acoustic Features A Solid Spruce Top, Solid East Indian Rosewood Back And Sides, Ebony Bridge And Fingerboard, Hand-Fit Dovetail Neck Joint, Nitrocellulose Lacquer, Mother-Of-Pearl Fingerboard Inlay Pattern, Antique White Binding, Aging Toner, And A Bone Nut And Saddle.

Includes A Hardshell Case.
