2013 Gibson J-35 Slope Dreadnought Guitar

It's hard to argue with the looks, sound, and feel of modern J-35s. This one has kept itself in good order faithfully and only needed the lightest of adjustments before it was ready to hang on the wall for sale. 

Suffice to say, these sound a lot like a J-45/J-50 but have a little more of an early-'50s mids-forward, airier, woodier sound than other modern Js of this stripe that I've played. It takes a flatpick for folk/country/bluegrass styles pretty dang well and fingerpicks nicely, too. And it's pretty, so...

Just a side note: the small rectangular bridges on these modern Gibsons often get stress cracks over time. This one doesn't have that and the guitar itself was basically setup on-the-dot right out of the case after 9 years in the world. How about that?

Condition notes: it's quite clean with just a bit of pickwear on the pickguard and the lightest of handling scuffs/scratches/tiny dings throughout the body. It looks "shopworn" more than anything. It's also entirely original save the new ebony bridge pins and it even comes with installed electronics. The saddle is tall and has a healthy amount of adjustment room left.

It comes with: a nice original hard case.
