Warm and Mellow
The D-35 takes all of the things that make the D-28 such an iconic instrument and dresses it up with an elegantly bound neck and a beautiful 3-piece back. The D-35 sounds different from the D-28 because of the lighter, forward-shifted 1/4" bracing structure and (perhaps to a lesser extent) the three-piece back configuration.
The significant bracing changes explain especially prominent bass response and generally warmer tonality when compared to the archetypal 5/16" braced D-28. These are beautifully voiced instruments with a 50+ year-long rich history of adoration among guitar enthusiasts.Model: Standard Series D-35Type: D-14 Fret BodyFinish Color: 1935 SunburstTop Finish: GlossTop Wood: Solid SpruceBracing: Non-Scalloped, Forward-Shifted, 1/4" Spruce X-BracingBack & Sides Wood: Solid East Indian RosewoodBack & Sides Finish: GlossNeck Wood: Select HardwoodNeck Finish: SatinNeck Joint: DovetailNeck Shape: Modified Low Oval with High-Performance TaperNeck Dimensions: .810 1st - .880 9thFretboard Material: EbonyFingerboard Inlays: Mother-of-Pearl Style 28Scale Length: 25.4"Width at Nut: 1 3/4"Nut Material: BoneBinding: Antique WhiteRosette: Multi-StripeTuners: Chrome Enclosed w/ Large ButtonsBridge: Ebony Modern Belly - Drop in SaddleBridge String Spacing: 2 5/32"Saddle: 16'' Radius/Compensated/BonePickguard: TortoiseshellCase: Black Molded Hardshell
