A left-handed dreadnought with a 3-piece East Indian rosewood back.
The Martin D-35 Standard dreadnought left-handed acoustic guitar stands as a testament to Martin's innovation and craftsmanship, blending vintage tones with modern playability. Originally crafted in 1965 during the folk music boom, the D-35 became iconic for its unique three-piece rosewood back. With forward-shifted 1/4" X-bracing, this guitar delivers a rich, resonant sound, emphasizing balanced bass and articulate highs. A solid spruce top provides versatility and clarity, making the D-35 Standard equally suited for delicate fingerstyle work or bold strumming. Its refined appointments include antique white binding and mother-of-pearl inlays, ensuring it looks as exceptional as it sounds. Paired with a comfortable neck profile with a high-performance taper, this model offers effortless playability for left-handed guitarists seeking an iconic acoustic experience.
Forward-Shifted X-Bracing Enhances Tonal Depth
This dreadnought acoustic features Martin's forward-shifted X-bracing, strategically placed an inch from the soundhole to maximize top resonance. Crafted with 1/4" non-scalloped Golden Era spruce bracing, this design creates a powerful low-end response while maintaining clarity in the mid and high frequencies. The bracing pattern allows the solid spruce top to vibrate freely, unlocking the full tonal potential of the instrument. Players will appreciate the even balance across tonal registers, making this guitar ideal for solo performances or ensemble playing. The enhanced projection and sustain ensure that every note carries warmth and definition, whether you're strumming or picking.
East Indian Rosewood Back and Sides for Balanced Warmth
The three-piece back of this guitar, crafted from East Indian rosewood, not only provides a visually distinctive aesthetic but also contributes to its tonal richness. Rosewood is prized for its ability to produce warm, resonant bass tones with clear, ringing treble frequencies. The multi-stripe inlay adds a touch of elegance, highlighting the craftsmanship behind this design. Together with the solid spruce top, the rosewood back and sides create a harmonically complex sound that's both bold and nuanced. This combination offers depth and clarity, ensuring the guitar performs beautifully in both studio and live settings.
Modern Martin Neck Profile for Effortless Playability
Designed for comfort and precision, the D-35 features a modified low oval neck shape with a Performing Artist taper. The wider string spacing at the 1-3/4" nut enhances fingerstyle techniques while making chord transitions fluid. Constructed from select hardwood, the satin-finished neck provides a smooth, tactile feel that accommodates extended play sessions. Whether you're navigating intricate melodies or exploring open chords, the ergonomic design ensures a seamless playing experience. Combined with an ebony fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl inlays, this neck delivers both aesthetic appeal and exceptional functionality for left-handed players.
Premium Martin Construction for Long-Term Reliability
The D-35 Standard dreadnought showcases Martin's commitment to durability through its choice of premium materials. The hand-fit dovetail neck joint ensures structural integrity, while the nitrocellulose lacquer finish protects the wood while allowing it to breathe naturally. A bone nut and saddle provide superior tone transfer and enhance intonation accuracy, while chrome enclosed-gear tuners deliver precise and stable tuning. From the faux tortoiseshell pickguard to the aging toner on the top, every detail is thoughtfully designed to withstand the rigors of performance and time. This guitar is built to inspire players for years to come.
Left-Handed Dreadnought for Players Seeking Iconic Tone
The Martin D-35 Standard dreadnought left-handed acoustic guitar combines vintage tone with modern playability, making it ideal for left-handed guitarists looking to explore a timeless sound.
