Martin Guitars D-35 Ambertone

Full solid dreadnought with Sitka-spruce top, body of east indian rosewood and case

The Martin D-35 Standard was used in early years by famous musicians like Johnny Cash, Jim Croce and others due to its fine sound characteristics and its special charm. Particularly striking are the extensive Bindings of the body and neck, forming one of the hallmarks of the high-quality D-14 Fret Dreadnought model . In addition, the D-35 Ambertone has a 3-piece back , which gives the bass frequencies a very clear coloration, so that the instrument is not for nothing especially popular with singer / songwriter guitarists.

Woods and construction

A fine-grained Sitka spruce top provides a very defined sound, which is particularly clear in the mid and treble frequencies. Enriched with the crisp basses of the East Indian rosewood body , this creates a very harmonious overall picture. Thanks to a flat Select Hardwood neck , the instrument can be fingered very easily and obligingly in all 20 frets . These are set into a noble ebony fingerboard , marked with mother-of-pearl dot inlays and framed by an antique white binding.

Design and Hardware

The characteristic headstock of the D-35 Ambertone features high-quality, chrome-plated die-cast tuners that guarantee precise tuning of the 6 steel strings . In addition, a compensated bridge inlay and a 44.5 mm wide bone nut ensure clean intonation on the 645 mm scale length . Matching the Ambertone finish of the top, the multi-ply binding is designed in a subtle antique white and thus very successfully coordinated with the multi-stripe soundhole rosette and the tortoise pickguard .
