DenverSteve Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 A simple Google will find you here: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/RS35VSNH where they have full information on that model. I almost purchased one but felt the price was a bit high for a dressed up J35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply but the Specs are not complete on this I've called several stores and no one knows if the braces are forward shifted or not and no info on hide glue either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I almost purchased one but felt the price was a bit high for a dressed up J35. Specs like an adi top add up to a bit more than bling. The two can be compared here. To my ears, fine fine vs new wine. Of course if you cant afford fine wine, the std 35 is pretty good as new wines go. Fat, punchy. thinner in bass/mdis, brighter, to point of being edgey (depending on one's attack). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelonious Ponk Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Thanks for your reply but the Specs are not complete on this I've called several stores and no one knows if the braces are forward shifted or not and no info on hide glue either Yeah, you can't even count on Gibson's own web site to tell you which guitars have the forward-shifted, AJ style bracing and which don't. Judging by the video links above, I'd guess that it either has them, or it doesn't matter much. The thing is a monster, and while the 35 sounds very nice, the collector's edition has MORE. At least in that recording. $1300 more? That's a lot more. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you that's mostly what I was looking for Yeah I think the J-35 Standard sounds nice but a little thin for me I bought the J-15 and it seems to deliver a lot warmer response but I want to get a nice sunburst to add to my collection I might have to step up to a Jackson Browne Walnut J-45 Gibson J-15 Walnut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 ... I might have to step up to a Jackson Browne Walnut J-45 Nice gutiar, whole 'nother kettle of fish--way more on the low end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1ues Boy Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Nice gutiar, whole 'nother kettle of fish--way more on the low end. So true....I did just buy a Gibson J-15 and it's very sweet and warmer then the Standard J-35 - things that I'm going to upgrade on my J-15 are Head stock Tuners and I've been looking at Carvin Locking Tuners same as Schaller Locking tuners and of course warmer strings BUT I have and like Elixer 80/20 Nano strings on all my other guitars.....I'd like to replace the stock saddle with West African Hard Ivory and nut I can only hope that these changes bring this wonderful J-15 to it's peak performance http://www.carvinguitars.com/products/CL33C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
