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 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. 

Note: After close inspection, this instrument shows general finish scratching and small impressions by the low E side of the sound hole. (See pics, light bar used to help show wear)
