Fullmental Alpinist Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Jon Garon at My Favorite Guitars has one of those 1935 AJs on his inventory I'm thinking about. Anyone have one or tried one? GDC, you mean the real thing? If so, tpbiii has a 1936. He's posted a lot of pictures of it lately. It's a beaut. Remember, they sold for only $80 new, so don't pay more than a couple of hundred for one.... FMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDC Posted November 15, 2013 Author Share Posted November 15, 2013 Oh no... no, no. The reissue.... I'll edit my post for clarity. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdd707 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Well, AJs have been "reissued" under several names over the years ..... like the Anniversary AJ. So it's difficult to give you a straight answer (typical for any Gibson question), but I have a '92 AJ that should be close to the original and It is a real keeper! It is a most wonderful instrument as are most of the AJs I've played. There can be duds in any model of Gibsons .... Gibson even notes that, since they are "hand made" they are all individuals (per this month's issue of Acoustic Guitar Mag) .... I've played a lot of AJs and some are better than others but I've never seen a bad one. Play it and, if it appeals to you, buy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 There's an AJ Gold on EBay right now http://bit.ly/18bkOtF I have one of these and love it. The buyer doesn't list that the back and sides are Walnut and I need to look at my paperwork when I get home but I think they only made 30 of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
