Description
The D-35 was Martin's first model to feature a three-piece back, and its binding fingerboard is also a distinguishing feature of its appearance. The D-35 is a dreadnought with a combination of spruce and rosewood, a style of guitar that takes the high road with the D-28.
The first impression is a clear tone with a sense of coolness and luster, based on the thick bass that is typical of dreadnought guitars. It contains a thick core of fundamental notes and complex overtones, and depending on how you play it, you can bring out a variety of expressions. It is a truly American sound that reminds one of the strength of trees in the sunlight and the breath of the earth. Subjectively speaking, the Martin sound is the sound that rings in your head.
The condition of the neck and other parts of the instrument are in good condition, and the instrument is ready for immediate use.
