Martin Quality with Elegant Appointments!

The Martin HD-35 acoustic guitar goes beyond the exquisite design and appointments of the legendary HD-28, bringing you and acoustic guitar that both looks and sounds magnificent. Decadent inlays of black and white Boltaron adorn the HD-35's sides and headstock, matching the smooth body and fretboard binding and cresting its 3-piece solid East Indian rosewood back. Even more pronounced is the bold herringbone inlay one the sitka spruce top. From the very first strum, you'll recognize the unmistakably bold and vibrant voice created by the solid sitka spruce on top of an East Indian rosewood body - an effect that's even more pronounced due to the HD-35's expressive square-shouldered dreadnought-style shape. From stem to stern, the HD-35 acoustic guitar demonstrates pure Martin quality!

Balance and kick

I've never got two Martin guitars on a same quiet room, so I'll be of no use trying to compare this one to another Martin. I bought my HD35 from Sweetwater last november, and right now I'm certain tha... read more [+]t I'm keeping it until I die. Strumming this amazing guitar just makes you want more. And it's the perfect companion of a singer. It gives incredible balance to the sound and precise tuning.
The real thing came when I recorded it: FULL sound. It pleases so much that it's hard to try and cut any freqs with an EQ. Just good vocals and this instrument would be enough for me on a record.
Until I got to record it was the moment where I realized what I was holding in my hands. It's almost insane an acoustic guitar that sounds like this.
Playability is excellent. It's not easy to let it rest.
Case is very good also.
I'm really thankfull for this guitar. close [-]

First of all the Sweetwater people are great to work with . My guitar arrived in pristine condition , double boxed and in its case , The smell of the rosewood is just great and continues 3 weeks lat... read more [+]er as I write this, The Martin HD-35 is just an amazing piece of musical artistry , I have 3 Martins now and this one is louder than my Martin D-41 because of the way the back is constructed which is beautiful to listen to and look at . The action is extraordinary and I bought this one specifically for bluegrass country flat picking . I use the D-41 for finer pick work and this complements both models . Best price on the web BTW and I looked for about a year after I was disappointed with local shops . close [-]
