Product Overview
Crafted with premium solid tonewoods including a carefully selected Sitka spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the HD-35 showcases Martin's most sophisticated construction techniques developed over nearly two centuries of guitar making. The distinctive three-piece back design not only creates visual appeal but also contributes to the guitar's unique tonal characteristics and enhanced structural integrity.
The HD-35's signature feature is its lighter, scalloped 1/4" bracing pattern that allows greater top movement compared to standard Martin bracing, resulting in increased volume, projection, and dynamic response. This advanced bracing design, combined with Martin's 2025 Standard Series enhancements including Golden Era scalloped bracing, delivers vintage-inspired tone with modern performance capabilities.
The striking herringbone trim around the top, antique white binding, and Style 28 appointments create the classic Martin aesthetic that has graced countless legendary recordings. The GE Modified Low Oval neck profile with high-performance taper ensures exceptional comfort and playability, while the bound ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl dot inlays provides both visual elegance and optimal playing feel.
