Martin HD-35 Acoustic Guitar That John Mayer Plays

Make sure to read our blog post on John Mayer’s most frequently used acoustic gear.

Known for its deep, resonant bass and clear treble. The Martin HD-35 (2018) acoustic guitar’s brawny dreadnought shape and tried-and-true rosewood and spruce tonewood combination provide you with projection that’s nothing short of astonishing. To create the HD-35, Martin fused tonal elements of their pre-war herringbone D-28 with styling cues from their D-35. The result is a highly playable instrument with impeccable visuals and a powerful sonic personality enhanced by scalloped X-bracing.
