Martin D-35 (2025)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eThree-Piece Back\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1965, Martin was running low on Brazilian rosewood pieces wide enough for a two-piece dreadnought back. The solution was a three-piece back, and thus the D-35 was born. Martin began switching to East Indian rosewood in late 1969. The three-piece back is still the D-35's hallmark.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLighter Bracing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Martin developed the D-35, they built test guitars with different bracing and chose the lightest. The bracing is still 1\/4\" compared to 5\/16\" on the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akustikken.dk\/product\/c-f-martin-d-28-2025\/\"\u003eD-28\u003c\/a\u003e. Therefore, the D-35 has a full and round bass, while the D-28 and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akustikken.dk\/product\/c-f-martin-hd-28-2025\/\"\u003eHD-28\u003c\/a\u003e are more focused. It is the bracing and not the three-piece back that makes the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe 2025 Update\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2025, the D-35 received Golden Era bracing, which here is non-scalloped and still 1\/4 inch. The neck received a new profile, Golden Era Modified Low Oval, the fretboard became thinner, and the nut and heel are reshaped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions and Answers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between the D-35 and D-28?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth have a grand top and East Indian rosewood. The D-35 has a three-piece back and non-scalloped 1\/4-inch bracing, and the lighter bracing provides a fuller and rounder bass. The D-28 has a two-piece back and scalloped 5\/16-inch bracing. The D-35 also has binding on the fretboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is the back in three pieces?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1965, Martin lacked Brazilian rosewood pieces wide enough for a two-piece back.

Martin only specifies spruce for the Standard series, and the top is either Sitka or Lutz spruce.
