The Martin D-35 is a unique and trusted classic, first introduced in the mid-1960s and played by countless music legends ever since. Its Dreadnought body size delivers a bold, projective sound with strong bass, clear trebles, and rich overtones, making it a versatile choice for players of all styles. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-35 stands out with its iconic three-piece back and lighter, non-scalloped 1/4" bracing, offering a balanced yet powerful tone. The satin neck, featuring a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval profile, high-performance taper, and 25.4" scale length, ensures smooth, effortless playability. Complete with antique white binding, a bound ebony fingerboard with mother of pearl dot inlays, an ebony bridge with bone pins, and chrome enclosed gear tuners, the D-35 is built to carry on its legacy in your hands. Available in a variety of striking gloss options, it’s a guitar you can trust to unleash the artist within.  Martin’s refreshed Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. Sitka spruce GE top bracing, as featured on the Modern Deluxe Series, delivers vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while updates like a reimagined neck profile, thinner fingerboard, and refined bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar includes a hardshell case.  Model Name D-35 Ambertone Back & Sides Finish Gloss Back & Sides Color Natural Back Material East Indian Rosewood Back purfling Style 35 Binding Antique White Body Size D-14 Fret Bracing Material Spruce Bracing Shape GE-Non-Scalloped Bracing Size 1/4" Bracing Pattern Forward Shifted X Brace Bridge Material Ebony Bridge Pin Dots Faux Tortoise Bridge Pin Material Bone Bridge String Spacing 2 5/32" Bridge Style GE Modern Belly- Drop in Saddle Case Type Molded Hardshell Construction Dovetail Neck Joint Electronics: None Fingerboard Binding Antique White Fingerboard Inlay Material Mother of Pearl Fingerboard Inlay Style Style 28 Fingerboard Material Ebony Fingerboard width at 12th Fret 2 1/8'' Fingerboard width at nut 1 3/4'' Neck Finish Satin Top Finish Gloss Headplate Binding Material None Headplate Logo Style Script Old Style Overlay Headplate Material East Indian Rosewood Headstock Shape Solid with Square Taper Heelcap Material Antique White with Multi-Stripe Tuning Buttons Large Neck Color Dark Mahogany  Neck Joins at Body 14th Fret Neck Material Select Hardwood Neck Shape GE Modified Low Oval Neck Taper High Performance Taper Number of Frets 20 Nut Material Bone Pickguard Faux Tortoise Pickguard Inlay None Plek'd Yes Recommended Strings Authentic Acoustic Lifespan 2.0 - Medium  MA550T  Rosette Style Style 28 Multi-Stripe Saddle Material Compensated Bone Saddle Radius 16" Scale Length 25.4" Side Detail None Side Dots Black Side Inlay Material Multi-Stripe Side Material East Indian Rosewood Top Color 1933 Ambertone Top Detail None Top Inlay Material Multi-Stripe Top Material Spruce Tuning Machines Chrome Enclosed Gear
