Nashville guitarist and producer Corey Congilio shows us a beautiful Martin HD-35 Standard. An iconic model and one considered by many to be an idyllic "desert island guitar". We can see why. Enjoy the demo and check out the specs below.
This iconic HD-35 fuses classic, inimitable Martin construction with great aesthetics and tops it all off with a supremely comfortable neck. First things first - the top of this guitar is solid Sitka spruce and the sides and back are East Indian rosewood. This is a tried and true tonewood pairing for acoustic guitars that provides balanced projection and nuanced subtlety. It's a perfect match for the dreadnought body style, which naturally sculpts the low end. The HD-35 is infamous for its three piece back, which provides a look unlike anything else in the acoustic guitar realm. What's under the hood of this iconic guitar is just as important as what you can see. Beneath the top, the solid Sitka spruce braces are arranged in a standard scalloped "X" pattern. This allows the top to vibrate more freely without compromising strength. It has a distinctly more pronounced tonal character than non-scalloped guitars. The dovetail neck joint is crucial to this guitar's sound and stability as well.
This is an iconic instrument that's every bit as musical, playable and relevant as ever. Perfect for the Martin aficionado or simply anyone on the hunt for the real deal dreadnought sound.
