The Pre-War Classic - Now in Vintage Sunburst The J-35 evolved from the Jumbo in 1936, a time when the Great Depression was still wreaking havoc on Americans. Gibson developed the J-35 to be a pared-down model that still offered musicians a warm and balanced instrument. This J-35 delivers every bit of the seasoned, vintage look, feel, and sound of those classic models. Discerning flat-top players will love the rich, full-bodied tone from this vintage-inspired, round-shoulder beauty, along with its superb playability and simple aesthetic charm. Includes a hardshell case.
