Gibson J-35

When the Gibson J-35 was released in 1936, it introduced a whole new generation of musicians to the round-shoulder dreadnought guitar. Since this was a time of financial instability and uncertainty, the J-35 was built to be sonically vibrant, versatile, and supremely roadworthy. Lightweight construction and the strategic implementation of the bracing puts the Gibson J-35 at the ideal crossroads of comfort and steadiness - this instrument is one that flies a bit under the radar, but only because Gibson has so many iconic models to offer. The newest J-35s incorporate all of the trademark elements that made the original release such a monumental success - the Gibson Custom Shop goes above and beyond with research and hand-crafted construction of the highest quality.
