Martin DG D-35
Martin · acoustic guitar
The Martin D-35 Standard Series is a professional dreadnought acoustic guitar featuring a spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides. The 25.4 inch scale length and 14-fret body deliver the classic dreadnought tone—bold, projective, and rich with powerful bass and clear trebles. The guitar features a Modified Low Oval neck profile with ebony fingerboard, 20 total frets, and 1.75 inch nut width widening to 2.125 inches at the twelfth fret. The forward-shifted X-brace with 1/4 inch non-scalloped braces creates a tone with beautifully balanced, powerful low-end, articulate mids, and shimmering highs. The three-piece East Indian Rosewood back design contributes to the versatile, resonant character.
