SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to ensure it is in excellent playing condition.

The Gibson J-35 Reissue is a beautifully faithful return to a classic round-shoulder design, delivering warm, woody tone with vintage depth and character. Its thermally aged red spruce top, paired with mahogany back and sides, produces a rich, open voice with smooth lows, focused mids, and a dry, articulate response. Hand-scalloped bracing enhances its dynamic feel, making it responsive and expressive across a wide range of playing styles. The historic-profile mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard offer a comfortable, familiar playing experience. Finished in a thin VOS nitro, it captures the look and feel of a well-loved original with a voice that feels instantly at home!

The J-35 evolved from the Jumbo in 1936, a time when the Great Depression was still wreaking havoc on Americans. Gibson developed the J-35 to be a pared down model but still offer musicians a warm and balanced instrument. This Custom Historic 1936 J-35 delivers the look, feel and sound of our iconic J-35 as a seasoned vintage instrument. The Master Luthiers in Bozeman, Montana, have created a beautiful vintage-inspired instrument sure to be coveted by the most discerning of flat-top players. The 1936 J-35 features a Thermally Aged Adirondack red spruce top held by hot hide glue construction, a wide 1.77’’ nut width, open-slot bridge, bone saddle, and strap cream button tuners.
