Guitar has been professionally set up by luthier, including bone nut and bone saddle to replace the synthetic tusq nut and saddle. The bone nut and saddle upgrade has significantly improved the balance and projection of the guitar.

Happy for serious bidders to view/play before placing bid, it will not disappoint.

This guitar is new, and plays very well. It sounds very balanced, and woody. It weighs 4lbs. Has a balanced tone, not found in Martin D-28 or HD-28 dreadnoughts, making it suitable for singer songwriters. Martin dreadnoughts were designed for bluegrass, and excel with their bottom and top end.

Happy for serious buyers to view and play before buying.

Introduced in 1936, the J-35 was Gibson's answer to a call for a quality, handcrafted guitar. The J-35 is handcrafted with solid tone woods and all the acclaimed skill of Gibson Acoustic’s luthiers of Bozeman, Montana. A guitar to compliment your Gibson Les Paul!

The spruce top and mahogany back and sides produce the warm, expressive tone sought after by renowned artists, acoustic connoisseurs, record producers and sound engineers.
