Martin's D-35, launched in 1965, has now been redesigned with inspiration from the Golden Era of the 1930s and '40s. The spruce top features non-scalloped Forward-Shifted Golden Era bracing, and the neck has been updated with a Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck profile. An Ambertone finish on the top gives the D-35 a beautiful glow and a striking look. A 1.75″ nut width and a PLEK-treated ebony fingerboard with rounded edges offer improved playability.

Ever since it was launched back in 1965, the Martin D-35’s muscular tone has made it one of Martin’s most coveted guitars. It can be heard on countless legendary recordings in the hands of guitarists and songwriters such as David Gilmour, Johnny Cash, James Taylor, and Neil Young. In 2025, the D-35 has been redesigned with design elements inspired by Martin’s golden era in the 1930s and 1940s. The D-35’s grand top is now supported by Golden Era bracing, which further elevates the light 1/4″ bracing to a richer and more responsive voice. Turn the guitar over, and you’ll see the D-35’s three-piece rosewood back and sides, which form the model’s sonic foundation with full bass and enveloping overtones. In addition, the D-35 is now built with a Golden Era Modified Low Oval neck profile. This, along with a 1.75″ nut width, a thinner, beveled ebony fretboard, and a slim vintage heel, is geared for comfortable high-speed playing and strumming.The D-35 differs from the D-28 model by having a bound fretboard, closed kidney tuners, and a three-piece back—the latter idea originating in the mid-1960s when Brazilian rosewood was difficult to obtain. Another design element that makes the D-35 stand out is the light 1/4″ forward-shifted X-bracing, which, in combination with rosewood back and sides, provides chest-thumping projection and excellent bass.
Premium Martin guitars such as the D-35 are fretboard-treated to achieve more even playability. Fret Pro is an advanced, computer-controlled process that scans, levels, and machines the frets, so every note in every position rings out loud and clear with a flawless tone.
When we look at Martin’s history in guitar design and construction, it is evident that C. F. Martin’s iconic models form the backbone of the American guitar industry. With this in mind, Martin presents the updated Standard series: a range of guitars dedicated to reviving both the appearance and tone of Martin’s Golden Era vintage guitars while incorporating a complex palette of modern improvements. The result is a comprehensive update of Martin’s most coveted models, including remarkably responsive Golden Era bracing, thinner fretboards with rounded edges, a slim vintage heel, and Golden Era bridges equipped with bone barnds.
With the Standard series, Martin has managed to preserve the essence of what has made their guitars legendary while adding advanced technology and precision to meet the needs of modern musicians. This makes the Standard series a perfect fusion of Martin’s historical heritage and today’s demands for playability and tone, further cementing Martin as one of the most influential names in acoustic guitars.
