With its dreadnought body and solid premium tonewood construction, the D-35 Seth Avett is a very loud but superbly balanced cannon.

Factory installed Martin Gold Plus electronics Many acoustics - and yes, even some premium quality instruments - come with optional electronics packages or even "off-the-shelf" units, which can save some money, but ultimately compromise the amplified sound. For the D-35 Seth Avett Custom Signature Edition, Martin luthiers carefully selected a Martin Gold Plus system that would be factory installed in the guitar. This results in an amazingly detailed amplified sound that's never harsh or brittle sounding. The Martin dreadnought is a cornerstone of modern music In the early part of the twentieth century, the history of the modern guitar began. Martin's early dreadnoughts set into motion the guitar's prominent role in modern music and set the standard for tone quality in acoustic guitars. Martin dreadnoughts became known for resonant warm tones, quality craftsmanship, and tasteful styling. For those reasons, Martin guitars became an important part of the music written and performed by the stars of the '20s and '30s. And the rest, as they say, is history.
