Since 1978, the HD-35 has been one of Martin's best kept secrets. The HD-35 combines the innovative three-piece back design of the '60s with the bold Herringbone and scalloped braces of the prewar era. This rare configuration produces powerful, refined tone you'll only find from a Martin guitar. The HD-35 features a solid Sitka Spruce top, East Indian Rosewood back and sides, and a three-piece East Indian Rosewood back. In keeping with the history of Style-35 guitars, the centerpiece on the back always provides a nice contrasting grain. Under the hood, its braces are forward-shifted to increase bass presence, and they're scalloped, too, for more volume and even, fast response. Like the rest of the Standard Series, the HD-35 is styled out with vintage touches. Thanks t aging toner on the top, Antique White binding, and an Old-Style "C.F. Martin" logo, the HD-35 has elegant cosmetics to match its impressive sound. Top: Solid Sitka Spruce Back: Three-Piece Solid East Indian Rosewood Sides: Solid East Indian Rosewood Bracing: Forward-Shifted, Scalloped 1/4" X-Bracing Nut: Bone, 1-3/4" Neck Profile: Modified Low Profile w/ High Performance Taper Fingerboard & Bridge: Solid Ebony Saddle: Compensated Bone, 2-5/32" string spacing Top Inlay Material: Bold Herringbone Tuning Machines: Grover Rotomatic All-in-all, this HD-35 is an expressive instrument that offers a slightly different flavor from your typical Martin dreadnought.
