I bought my Martin D-35 because of it's deep, rich bottom end.
I have never thought of it as dark though.

Yeah, I find that a bit surprising.
Personally, I do think the nature of the OM/000 body style is more accommodating to a darker tone than a dread, but the standout quality I noticed in the one OM-35 I played was how balanced the tone felt. That said, I still think the full scale adds a punch to the tone that articulates the treble more than sub-25" scale acoustics. |

I have a Taylor 320e Spring Edition all Mahogany Baritone that is very dark. I distinguish dark from the natural low note sound. This guitar to me is a jumbo Dred-it makes my Martin DC-Aura look small next to it in the cabinet. It has a natural reverb to it. Deep and dark. My favorite songs to play on it are Castles Burning by Neal Young and CSN’s Ohio. I love it!!

This Jeff Traugott RJ Brazilian / German Kind of guitar that I wonder why most highly successful acoustic players in the world couldn't pull out for some thick tone songs. Some great players choosing to play amazing vintage Martins and the many balanced and clear toned hand made guitars. But where are the deepest of the deep? Coaxing piano like lush tone on stage from millionaire performers that we love to hear play? |

Cedar/Rosewood Breedlove.
Way too dark for me. I really thought I wanted one of these until I played it, and ended up with Sitka/Rosewood instead.

Whatever John Lennon used on Working Class Hero. Can’t get much darker than that song.

That Traugott sounded incredibly beautiful to me in my headphones. Seriously, when he started to strum, my stomach dropped out!

The darkest toned guitar that I liked was a McKnight HighLander in Redwood and Cocobolo. Absolutely amazing. I played an HD-35 for 7 years. It's just as you describe: deep and rich, but not dark. |

Likewise - i have played an om35 martin before and the one i played certainly did not sound dark to my recollection at all.

That nightingale tone is not suitable for all songs and all genres as it is so thick and heavy that it was like drinking a super thick hot chocolate when you thought you were drinking a syphon made single origin cup of brewed coffee.
For some songs however no other guitar will sound as good. Quote:

I bought it here. An OO Melbourne. A neat guitar. The back and sides are very old Repurposed Oak, the top is Douglass Fir that dried as a set for 75 years before being used. The guitar was built then put away for 35 years. I am ( as far as I know) the second owner after a 35 year nap.
