Sound Pure's Take
A flatpicker's delight! When you want powerful, dry, and direct articulation with plenty of headroom, it's hard to beat the classic Sitka/rosewood combo. Sparkling high-end and powerful bass give you a tone that will fill a room to the brim. Bluegrass and New-grass players will love the feel of the modified low oval neck with a fast ebonay board to match. This used Martin is in excellent condition with minimal signs of playwear.
From Martin and Co.
One of Martin’s best kept secrets, the HD-35 is based on the legendary D-35 with a three-piece back, a bound fingerboard, and the added classic look of herringbone trim around the top perimeter. This rare instrument has received a well deserved revamp in 2018, updated with scalloped top braces for tone, and a modified low oval neck with narrow taper for ultimate playability. The HD-35 combines a Sitka spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides, resulting in pure Martin tone enhanced with strong bass.
