Sound Pure's Take
Ahhh, just right. This one's like settling into an old easy chair. That warm, embracing bass response is nigh impossible to say no to. We love the additional sensitivity and complexity you get from the European Spruce top--just the right level of lush to compliment the authority in this dread's voice. Carter-style picking couldn't be any downright prettier!
Condition: Used, Excellent
From Martin and Co.
Chris Martin's vision for the Retro Series is to perfectly capture the mystique and tonal emotion of priceless, pristine and well-aged Martin guitars. With electronic imaging contributed from a 1967 vintage D-35 "donor" guitar, the resulting acoustic as well as amplified tone is projective, balanced and resonant. Classic and enhanced D-35 appointments include a three-piece back, black pickguard, ivoroid bindings and a certified European spruce soundboard with thin 1/4" width bracing. The visual appeal of the original D-35 is captured and blended with a High Performance Neck® taper for easy action and enhanced playability.
