I have a 1973 D-35 that one day developed cracks in the three pieces... so I sent it back to Martin and they stretched and sealed it, but it changed... it went from sounding like yours, to a cross over to a D-28! I now like the slightly brighter and more flared sound better than the original 'perfect'. Acoustic wood instruments are like that, they change... give yours time, you'll see.
Pretty nice sounding guitar that D-35 is, and it looks and sounds like you know your way around that instrument. Nice playing, very smooth. Great post , keep it coming.
Are you serious? It is just the angle he is holding it at which prevents you seeing the other brace. When he leans it down a bit at 3:35 you can see the lower brace for a moment.
This is the next guitar I want, well a d-35 or a d12 28!! But I love the three piece back, even tough you don't see the back all that much when you play, but I love the sound it has, I currently own a d-16 GT and for 1400 its an amazing guitar too, I"m just trying to find strings that best suit it. I really want to try D'addario exps or j17, i'm using Jon Pearse right now
I have a D35 Martin for 28 years! Never let it go, play it hard! The harder you play, the better it will sound. Not playing it is the worst thing you can do.
Wow 28 years?! You should put up videos of you playing it, especially if you fingerpick. I would love to hear the sound of that guitar, plus listen to you play, if you've been playing for so long.
this is the best sound clip i have heard yet of the d35 sound..i am curious to know what strings are on it or what age..i prefer old strings that are not too zingy and let the wood do the talking.can you buy new strings that sound like dirty?
Is it true that the Martin D35 is now being made with a Spanish Cedar wood neck as opposed to mahagony? If the answer is yes, what year did Martin start doing this?
Well, yesterday, I received a reply via email from the Martin Company. They say that since 2005, necks on the D35 are Spanish Cedar wood! How old is your D35?
That "thing" is a nice thing! C'est Bon!!

Position that mike about one foot from the 12th fret pointing towards the soundhole and record... you will hear a difference.

Martin Guitars are the finest Instruments i`ve ever heardm brilliant and natural powerful, loud tones...
I want to buy a Martin Guitar too... But the choice is now a D-28 or a D-35, which differnts are there???
Stratocasterjosh 2 years ago
D-35 has a 3 piece back, d-28 a 2 piece. virtually identical. HD versions signicicantly more tone, more folk than bluesy in my opinion.
