The HD-35 is a 14-fret dreadnought in East Indian rosewood and spruce, with the back in three pieces. It has Golden Era Scalloped Forward-Shifted X Brace in 1/4" braces, a Golden Era (GE) Modified Low Oval neck with High-Performance Taper, and an ebony board bound in antique white with Style 28 inlays in mother of pearl.
Bold herringbone runs around the top, with a Style 28 multi-stripe rosette, a zig-zag back strip, multi-stripe side inlay and a multi-stripe heelcap. Chrome enclosed tuners with large knobs finish the headstock. Martin puts it forward on power and projection.
For the three-piece back with multi-stripe top trim and Golden Era non-scalloped bracing, look at the D-35. The HD-28 keeps the herringbone with 5/16" braces, nickel open gear tuners and abalone Diamonds and Squares Long inlays.
