What We Think

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: All of the frets were polished, recrowned and leveled. The truss rod and bridge were fully adjusted. No further work was required. 

This Gibson J-35 30's Faded acoustic guitar is a true gem, perfectly blending vintage vibe with modern playability. Its mahogany back and sides and solid Sitka spruce top create a classic tone that's rich, warm, and wonderfully responsive. The hand-scalloped X-bracing delivers that iconic, booming Gibson dreadnought sound, while the slim, rounded mahogany neck makes it incredibly comfortable to play. This isn't just a guitar; it’s an investment in a legend, crafted to be a road-ready workhorse that will only sound better with time. Whether you’re a touring musician or a discerning collector, this J-35 is a powerful and playful instrument ready to inspire your next song!

About Manufacturer

Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
