???? About the Martin D-35 Acoustic Guitar: ????
A distinctive three-piece back and antique white binding around the fingerboard set it apart. Expressive quarter-inch straight bracing gives it balance and power for any situation. Premium East Indian rosewood, spruce, and a timeless Dreadnought shape have made it the choice for pickers, strummers, and players from Johnny Cash to Seth Avett.

Mine is a 2013, and these tools are benchmarks that continue to get even better as time marches.
Magnificent
Found a great offer for a used one and hesitate to buy it just because I already bought 2 other dreads last month… was Not supposed to buy another one for now but this guitar ticks all the boxes for what I am looking for and I am scared of never finding an offer like that ????
Regarding the Grover tuners, the D35 was introduced in 1965 when the Grover Rotomatics were standard, so it is authentic versus the older models.
When talent meets quality it is a beautiful thing …
May I kindly ask what ragtime tune is that at 1:05 ?
I own one from built in 2009. It is one of the best guitar i have played and you are right Nick about this guitar being perfect for fingerpicking
Really love the Hawaiian Slack Key rendition you played ❤
what a review. One thing confuses me about your comments is about this being a fingerpicking dread. You said "not necessarily with a thumbpick but with your bare fingers" Why is that?
Im learning Electric Bass , Have 3 now lol , Got a Strat , Going to buy A Martin D-35 , Has a deeper tone .
Beautiful slack key guitar at the end!!!
This might be one of the best videos I've watched
Excellent playing and great explanation of the guitar!! What was the name of the tune you were playing at the beginning of the video around 1:07? Sounds very familiar but I can’t put my finger on it!
Excellent playing sir. You really showcase what the guitar can do.
It sounds Chrystal clear
First time to your channel – great video. I have a 1975 D-35 – have enjoyed it for about 30 years now. Really likes your playing – will be back!
I have to commend you for answering all the questions posted to your review. I wish more YouTubers did this because it’s important. Thank you for being so good at what you do!
Came for the guitar stayed for the playing! Great demo. Of all the D-35s I’ve played, only one has the one. I didn’t have the cash at the time. So alas, my quest continues.
After 23 years from the first playing D35 in GC. I bought my D35 new in 2018. Lovely guitar.
Finally found the alter ego of Jim Jeffries. Selling guitars using masterful skills by day, saying "C#nt" by night.
Love my D-35. I got it new in 2017 and it isnt nearly as loud as other Martins I've played (including my own D21 Special). The tone is totally what I want, but wish it had a bit more punch sometimes.
Having not played many other new D35s – have any of you noticed that it takes longer to open up than other guitars?
Thank you!
Please play a d18 standard
What a beautiful sounding and well-balanced guitar the D 35 is, great explanation and presentation- thanks.
Nick, great video. My first new Martin was a D35 with an Engleman top. That was my favorite guitar accept for the 1-11/16 nut back then. I might have to buy a new one ????
What is the width of the neck at the nut? Looks wider than the one I play. Nice demonstration, btw. My friend played a lot of finger picking. Brings back memories. Thanks.
Great guitar, but you the player are the reason this guitar sings, thank you. The melody you played in Hawian tuning was wonderful.
Brilliantly done the D35 is a special guitar keep up the great work! ????
Only take care with the bindings coming off like with my 2011 D-35 an old Martin trait! Nevertheless the tone is outstanding!
What is the nut width on these?
Thanks for the demo. I’ve been checking out your channel lately and I like the mix of vintage and new guitars. Keep it up. Awesome vids!
Great demo and explanation! That guitar sounds great, and no telling how much time will bless it with deeper tones as it ages.
Good job demoing the sound and describing the architecture of this guitar. Beautifully played.
I've got one on order – the D-35 has always been the best sounding guitar for me. The HD-35 is great but a bit too much, while every D-35 has wowed me with not only the clarity and balance, but actual quality of every note. It's rare to find a guitar that flavors its own sound so well. I hadn't thought of it as a fingerstyle dreadnaught before – interesting take on it! Great vid, thanks
Bought mine just last year..new..out of Toronto..never looked back..shes the one for me!
Hello, what microphone set are using to record the guitar? Thanks in advance!
Fantastic guitar.
Far out!! Beautiful tune.
Good skills matey… how long are you going to the States for ?
Will be strange not having you putting these guitars through their paces !
