One of Martin’s best kept secrets, the HD-35 is based on the legendary D-35 with a three-piece back, a bound fingerboard, and the added classic look of herringbone trim around the top perimeter. This rare instrument has received a well deserved revamp in 2018, updated with scalloped top braces for tone, and a modified low oval neck with narrow taper for ultimate playability. The HD-35 combines a spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides, resulting in pure Martin tone enhanced with strong bass.Model: Standard Series HD-35Type: D-14 Fret Body Bracing: Scalloped, Forward-Shifted, 1/4" Spruce X-BraceTop Wood: Solid SpruceTop Finish: Gloss w/Aging TonerTop Inlay: Bold HerringboneBack & Sides Wood: East Indian RosewodBack & Sides Finish: GlossNeck Wood: Select HardwoodNeck Finish: SatinNeck Joint: DovetailNeck Shape: Modified Low Oval with High-Performance TaperNeck Dimensions: .810 1st - .890 9thFretboard Material: EbonyFingerboard Inlays: Mother-of-Pearl Style 28Scale Length: 25.4"Width at Nut: 1.75"Nut Material: BoneBinding: Antique WhiteRosette: Style 28 Multi-StripeTuners: Chrome Enclosed Gear with Large KnobsBridge: Ebony Modern Belly - Drop in SaddleBridge String Spacing: 2 5/32"Saddle: 16" Radius/Compensated/BonePickguard: Tortoise PatternCase: Molded Hardshell
