Martin D35 Dreadnought guitar


The Martin D35 soon became a great success after it's introduction.
Bound striped ebony fingerboard and of course a spruce top.

Three piece back:
Not very traditional but running out of supply of
bigger pieces for the backs of these guitars,
someone came up with this idea though not
entirely new. Antonio de Torres, the famous luthier of the
19th century allready used more pieces for back and
soundboard not even symmetrically placed! Along with
the tinier bracing these models are sounding better
to my ears compared to a D28.
