The Martin D-35 is a unique and reliable classic model, which appeared in the mid-1960s and has been played by countless music legends ever since. Its Dreadnought format offers a powerful and full sound, with deep bass, crystal-clear highs, and rich harmonics, making it a versatile instrument for musicians of all styles. Handcrafted with a solid spruce top and solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, the D-35 is distinguished by its iconic three-piece back and 1/4" (6.35 mm) non-scalloped bracing, offering a tone that is both balanced and powerful. The satin-finished neck, featuring a Modified Low Oval Golden Era (GE) profile, a high-performance taper, and a 25.4" (64.4 cm) scale length, ensures optimal playing comfort. With its antique white binding, ebony fingerboard adorned with pearl inlays, ebony bridge with bone pins, and chrome enclosed-gear tuners, the D-35 is designed to carry on its legacy in your hands. Available in a variety of vibrant gloss finishes, this guitar is a trusted instrument that will reveal the artist within you.
Martin’s reimagined Standard Series for 2025 enhances tone, comfort, and style. The GE Sitka spruce bracing, found on the Modern Deluxe series, provides vintage-inspired tone and sustain, while upgrades such as a redesigned neck profile, a thinner fingerboard, and an optimized bridge and heel improve playability and aesthetics. Each guitar comes with a molded hardshell case.
