Martin / 1977 D-35

When searching for a dreadnought guitar, the D-28 might be the first one that comes to mind. Certainly, its thick, rich low end has a classic appeal. However, have you ever felt that the sound becomes too layered when playing chords, or that the bass dominates? Perhaps you desire a more defined, well-balanced sound that complements vocals. When that desire arises, the D-35 becomes a viable option.



The D-35, like the D-28, is a dreadnought with a rosewood body, but it was deliberately designed with a different philosophy. As symbolized by its three-piece back construction, its sound is tighter, and the low end is rich without being excessively forward, providing a pleasant overall support.



This 1977 D-35 is a truly captivating instrument. The neck features a square rod construction, providing excellent rigidity while allowing the entire wood to resonate beautifully. The sound is mellow and smooth, with a responsive feel, making it a versatile guitar suitable for everything from singing and playing to solos. The cell binding adds a touch of elegance, making it a stage-ready instrument. Both the sound and appearance are refined and sophisticated.



This guitar boasts a calm, balanced tone characteristic of its era. It doesn't overly emphasize its age, but rather functions as a resonant and enjoyable guitar to play.



For those who are drawn to the powerful sound of the D-28 but are looking for a more refined sound and delicate response, for those who value a natural sound that doesn't get lost in the band mix, nor is it overly assertive, and for players who value reliability as a tool while also appreciating a touch of individuality, the D-35 will surely meet your needs.
