The J-35 is Gibson's simple and utilitarian workhorse to the magic Adirondack/ Honduran Mahogany Dreadnaught formula. The 1942 versions were special as they have 2 tone bars instead of the earlier 3. The J35 here before us is a survivor, and required a list of repairs (found in Specs) to get it to where it is. The black refinish to the Adi top has tons of vibe. The best part: it sounds massive.

Comes with Yamaha hardshell case.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
