C. F. Martin & Co. recognizes

efficient guitar designs to maximize
the yield of precious woods.
The D-35, HD-35, Grand J-35E
and M-36 are constructed with
a three-piece back in order to take
advantage of smaller structurally
pristine board sections.

Martin SP Strings:
Studio Performance strings are our
first choice for original equipment.
The specialized core wire provides
greater durability and a true tone, so
you can stay in tune and play longer.

ELECTRONICS:

Fishman Ellipse Aura D-TAR Wave-Length Multi-Source

Blend the four model-specific Aura Acoustic Sound Images
with the Martin Gold Plus under-the-saddle transducer
(switchable natural/maximum voicing). Controls are mounted
conveniently on the inside lip of the soundhole.
Add the desired amount of condenser microphone to the Wave-Length
under-saddle pickup using controls that are easily accessible
through the soundhole.18 volt system (two AA batteries) provides
increased dynamic headroom, while the mic preamp is contoured to
reduce potential feedback.
