duluthdan Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Had no real intention of acquiring a new guitar during this year's Homecoming gathering in Bozeman, Montana, USA. But then I bump into Dave for SLC in Music Villa - and he told me I had to try the Sunburst J-35 hanging in the corner. The instant the I heard his words, I knew I was doomed. You see, on the previous 2 Homecomings Dave also pointed out 2 guitars that ended up lightening the pocket, and taking up space in my car on the trip home. I had no real intention those years either. So, I play te Sunburst J-35 for about 20 seconds, handed it to the shop owner at Music Villa, and asked "How much?" He shot me a fair price, and the deal was done, all within mere moments of having been steered to this guitar by our SLC Forum member. Gorgeous tone. Later I learn from some of the factory reps on site that this was a "one-off" guitar. Anyway, bringing this home as a gift for my son. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 Wow! Great find, no matter what you paid. Absolute beauty! 19-fret neck, rectangular bridge, beautiful 'burst. All it needs is a script logo, but I'll still take it just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
