The J-35 is handcrafted exclusively from solid tonewoods, Sitka spruce and mahogany. Featuring Gibson's vintage 1930s advanced X- bracing pattern resulting in outstanding projection. The 2018 J-35 is the modern equivalent of that original round-shoulder flat-top with Gibson's historically celebrated, full-bodied acoustic tone. Finished with an LR Baggs VTC pickup allowing for easy plug and play.
