Sound Pure's Take
This D-35 has the fullness and depth of sound that so many vintage Martin dreads are revered for. The tonewoods have been well broken-in and are now producing a mature, detailed tone with substantial headroom. The classic three-piece back design provides plenty of powerful bass response that fills out the low-end for extremely rich chord voicings. Flatpickers will be very pleased with the lively response and exceptional headroom, and the instrument really comes to life as you alter your pick attack. Find the sweet spot on this instrument and you have projection and sustain for days! Call or email Sound Pure today for more information!
From Martin and Co.
Known for its strong bass response, the D-35 Dreadnought features a three-piece back in a bound fingerboard. The D-35 adds a Sitka spruce top to the East Indian rosewood back and sides. It’s the guitar of choice for bluegrass and folk music. Perfect for the intermediate and advanced player.
