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.
