The Custom Shop CS35-11 is a modern interpretation of the classic Martin D-35. By upgrading to Madagascar rosewood on the back and sides and redesigning the traditional wedge style back, the Custom Shop was able to mcreate a uniquely stunning instrument. The CS35-11 maintains the D-35's traditional bracing pattern, however, the Sitka top & brace material are upgraded with a Carpathian spruce top and adirondack braces for increased tonal response. Hide glue and a custom neck profile round out this one year only model.
