The One. The Only. The D-35.

There are legendary guitars, and then there's the Martin D-35. First rolling out of Nazareth in the mid-60s, this guitar broke the mold with its distinctive three-piece back and a voice that was powerful, balanced, and utterly its own. It's been the secret weapon for countless legends, and this modern incarnation carries that same genre-defining DNA forward.

That Three-Piece Back

Let's talk about the visual signature—the stunning three-piece East Indian Rosewood back. It’s not just for looks. This design, paired with the lighter 1/4" non-scalloped, forward-shifted bracing, creates a tone with a beautifully balanced and powerful low-end, articulate mids, and shimmering highs. It’s complex, it’s rich, and it records like an absolute dream.

Timeless Tone Woods

The classic combination of a Spruce top and East Indian Rosewood back and sides is the heart of the D-35's sound. The Spruce provides the crisp articulation and dynamic range, aged with a subtle toner for a vintage look, while the Rosewood brings the warmth, complexity, and that signature Martin boom. It's a Dreadnought that roars when you dig in but whispers with incredible sweetness on softer passages.

Effortless Playability

Martin has dialed in the feel of this D-35 to match its incredible tone. The GE Modified Low Oval neck profile with a High-Performance Taper is a modern player's delight—comfortable in the hand for hours of playing, with a fast, satin finish that never gets sticky. The 1 3/4" nut width gives you just enough space for complex chord voicings without feeling cumbersome. From the first fret to the last, this neck just feels *right*.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Old School Customer Service: Nothing is more important than helping a customer even if we don’t make a sale. We believe that if we’re honest with you, and treat you right, you’ll be back. Call us, or chat with us online. We love talking about guitars, and we want to help you find your perfect instrument. Even if it’s not from us.... but we think it will be!

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.

You should have NO disappointments when you see this guitar and hold it for its first strum! Please call the staff at Moore Guitars if you would like to have a personal “on the phone” description of this guitar. Thank you for looking at our listing!
