East Indian rosewood back and sides Rich low end; smooth mids; articulate highs

Fishman F1 Aura Plus electronics Blends 3-band EQ and 9 modeled mic tones

With electronic imaging contributed from a 1967 vintage D-35 "donor" guitar, the D-35E Retro's resulting acoustic as well as amplified tone is projective, balanced and resonant. Classic and enhanced D-35 appointments include a three-piece back, black pickguard, ivoroid bindings and a certified European spruce soundboard with thin 1/4" width bracing. It also features East Indian rosewood back and sides. The visual appeal of the original D-35 is captured and blended with a High Performance Neck(R) taper for easy action and enhanced playability. Equipped with Fishman Aura VT Enhance electronics, the D-35E Retro produces a pristine sound that previously could only be accomplished in a highly controlled studio setting. Perfect for the intermediate and advanced player.
