Description

The 1939 Gibson J-35 is a classic slope-shoulder dreadnought, prized for its rich, dynamic tone and responsive feel. This player-grade example has seen extensive repair work, ensuring structural stability while preserving its vintage character. With a spruce top and mahogany back and sides, it delivers the warm, punchy sound that defines pre-war Gibson acoustics. A comfortable C-shaped neck and scalloped X-bracing contribute to its lively resonance and projection. While it bears the marks of a well-played instrument, it remains a compelling choice for those seeking a vintage J-35 with history and soul. Full repair details can be found under the Specs tab. Comes with a non-original hardshell case.
