Up for sale, a 2006 Martin Standard Series D-35 in excellent condition, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. This D-35 benefits from a professional neck reset and a new compensated bone saddle.

Unique to the D-35 among Martin's dreadnought body guitars, the instrument features lighter 1/4" bracing, as opposed to the 5/16" bracing seen on its counterpart, the D-28. This feature, combined with the D-35's unique three-piece rosewood back, delivers a sound that is notably lively. The guitar has plenty of muscle and projection, yet with a relaxed, open quality befitting a top that’s been worked-in over a number of decades. The tone has an overarching clarity and treble chime, with a dynamic cut and bold, round low strings that have a high volume ceiling when played hard with a flat pick. This Standard Series D-35 weighs 4lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-53 bronze strings and easy-playing action.

This is a crack-free, well-kept example, and cosmetic wear on the gloss nitro lacquer finish is limited to light pick scuffing on top along the strum path and just a few tiny scuffs on the body as a whole. The satin finish on the neck profile is clean and smooth.

The original molded hardshell case is included, along with the hangtags.
