Description
This rare instrument has received a well deserved revamp in 2018, updated with scalloped top braces for tone, and a modified low oval neck with narrow taper for ultimate playability. The HD-35 combines a spruce top with East Indian rosewood back and sides, resulting in pure Martin tone enhanced with strong bass.
