We could start all kinds of conversations about why the D-35 is or isn't a standout in the Martin dreadnought lineage, after all, on paper they are not "high performance" guitars, the way we think about it these days. What seems to be true, though, time and again: when one has been played consistently, had hundreds or even thousands of songs run through its soundboard, there is an undeniable warmth and musicality that is hard to argue with. 1979 model currently in on consignment, played by Tucker!
