This exceptional dreadnought combines a solid Sitka spruce top with premium East Indian rosewood back and sides, enhanced by lighter non-scalloped 1/4" bracing that delivers a balanced yet powerful tone distinct from other Martin models.

Product Overview
Handcrafted with premium solid tonewoods including a carefully selected Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-35 showcases Martin's commitment to distinctive design elements that set certain models apart from the rest of their lineup. The iconic three-piece back construction not only creates visual appeal but also contributes to the guitar's unique tonal characteristics and enhanced structural stability.
What truly distinguishes the D-35 is its lighter, non-scalloped 1/4" bracing system that provides a different tonal response compared to Martin's standard bracing patterns. This unique bracing design delivers balanced projection with powerful bass response while maintaining clarity across the entire frequency spectrum, making it equally suited for fingerstyle playing, flatpicking, and powerful strumming applications.
The 2025 Standard Series enhancements incorporate Golden Era bracing design elements that deliver vintage-inspired tone and sustain while maintaining the D-35's distinctive character. The select hardwood neck features Martin's GE Modified Low Oval profile with high-performance taper, ensuring smooth, effortless playability that accommodates all playing styles and techniques.
