Overview

Sitka spruce GE top bracing under a spruce top drives the Martin D-35, a dreadnought with East Indian rosewood back and sides and the model's three-piece back. A satin neck with a modified low oval profile and a thinner fingerboard carries the strings to chrome enclosed tuners.

Players chasing a big, projecting dreadnought voice with rich overtones get it from rosewood and spruce, plus a hardshell case in the box. Its weak spot is paperwork: warranty details are left to the seller, and a pickup is not mentioned.

Who it's for

Strummers who want deep bass and long sustain under their chords are who this guitar serves. Smaller players who find large bodies awkward, or gigging players who need a built-in pickup, should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Rosewood back and sides for rich overtones
  • Ebony fingerboard and bridge
  • Bone bridge pins
  • Hardshell case included
Cons
  • Warranty terms not listed by the seller
  • Large dreadnought body for smaller players
  • Right-handed only in this listing

Performance notes

Projection comes from the large dreadnought body and the spruce top, voiced by Sitka spruce GE bracing that Martin says adds vintage tone and sustain. East Indian rosewood back and sides shape the bass weight and overtones. Neck comfort rests on the modified low oval profile, the taper and the thinner fingerboard.
