Sound Pure's Take
The Fairbanks F-35 is a beautifully crafted small-body acoustic that delivers rich, expressive tone with remarkable clarity and balance. Its Adirondack spruce top, paired with Adirondack bracing, offers exceptional responsiveness and headroom, while the mahogany body adds warmth and a focused, woody character. The easy V mahogany neck and Madagascar rosewood fingerboard provide a smooth, comfortable feel that invites effortless playing. Finished in nitrocellulose with elegant ivoroid binding and classic appointments, it carries a timeless, refined look. Lightweight, resonant, and thoughtfully built, this F-35 is an inspiring performer and a lifelong companion!
From Fairbanks Guitars
My personal favorite guitar design of all time, this slope-shouldered dreadnought has all the volume, honk, and bark that the best vintage examples are known for. Don’t let the short scale lull you into complacency: it can hold its own in a bluegrass combo or get real funky with some finger-style blues.
Headroom is seemingly limitless and the mahogany back and sides lend a particular woodiness that is unique to this body style. If you’re looking for a 16” dread to feed your tortured soul, the search is over.
