for me the 1969 #2 sounds amazing.
The deep,rich and sonorous sound of the D-35 is wonderful. I love my D-35. It’s my favourite after my D-18 then D-28. Martin’s is a peerless company.
Thank you for the great video!
I have a Martin D-12-35 with slotted headstock, circa 1969 or '68. Beautiful Brazilian. It has been well-loved by me since the late '70s.
Great video - here’s hoping these bench talks will continue! Great content and beautiful sounding D-35s.
Thanks so much! We're definitely planning on continuing this! :)
Excellent service, Sir - can't decide and will listen closely again. Have a semi-retired 1984 here, which has been my loyal squire since 1992. Wonder what you think about the 70s/80s/90s waves.
Hi
I absolutely love my D-35 sunburst. Of the many wonderful instruments I’ve owned over the years, this one gets most of my attention.
And that's saying something, knowing your collection Dave ;) Thanks for watching & commenting!
Many thanks, just beautiful to hear those instrument's ( made by MASTERS of the trade) I was the proud owner of a D3 Martin, my Son owns it now,but I acquired a Martin HPL cutaway that I am very pleased with 😊😊😊
Very good video. Thanks
Thanks Rob! Cheers!
Hey, I have two, one 1970 an the other 2016 (centennial). Both are AMAZING!. A question, (from Patagonia Chile!🇨🇱), what strings, material and gauge you use on those beauties?… (i use Martin 13 phosphor bronze). Good luck and thanks!, great guitar player!
We use D'Addario XS .12s! 😄
Wow, I was born in 1966, I can only daydream about a companion like a ‘66 D35!
One slight but important CORRECTION at 1:50, you noted that the lighter braces on the D-35 "reminded players of the 'Scalloped Braces' that were invented in 1944."
It's the complete opposite. Prior to the end of 1944, Martin Scalloped the Top Braces on all of their guitars. Late in 1944, the last scalloped braced Martin was serial number #89926. All guitars made from the beginning of 1945 up to 1976 have "straight", or "non" scalloped top braces. In 1976, Martin introduced the HD-28 that brought back the top Herringbone Trim along with "Scalloped" top Braces. After that, Martin would make special edition models that would have scalloped Braces. In 2012, Martin Re-imagined the D-18 with Scalloped and Forward-shifted top braces. Then in 2018, all Standard Series guitars have hand-shaped scalloped bracing, with the important exception of two iconic Martin models, the D-28 and the D-35, both with "non" scalloped braces.
Just a thought!
Great video, Milo!
Tot zeins,

Hey Tim! Thanks so much for you in-depth comment :) To be honest, I meant to say that it reminded players of the braces that were "abandoned" in '44, but listening back it sure sounds like I said "invented" haha. I completely agree with what you said though ;)
@thefellowshipofacoustics
Hey there, Milo!
You were correct all along!
I just listened back to what you originally said and (My Bad) you did INDEED say "abandoned in 1944".
I misunderstood YOU. I thought you said "invented"????? So, thanks for your reply. YOU WERE CORRECT THE FIRST TIME! As we say in America (using an Italian accent) "What's a matter me?"😅 Oh well?
Tot zeins,
Tim
D35 1969 #2 sounds fantastic.
Great video guys🎸
Thx Patrick! :)
I have a '68 D-35S bought in 1973 from Gruhn in Nashville. Best sounding guitar I have ever played. Local musician/ repair guy recommended on CD by Norman Blake (with whom he played) refretted it for me in '12, said "don't sell this guitar."
Gary Lander
The D-35S just has something…
Missing here is the D35 Reimagined.
You can't have it all Renatus ;) We'll try to include it next time around when we talk about D35's
@@thefellowshipofacoustics True! Looking forward to that :D
