The G Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Ok I really didn’t expect this . Here’s a guy who has owned and sold 2 J45’s .one a TV . A Woody Guthrie Sj and an Advanced Jumbo. So a Gibson slope shoulder void for a few years brought me to a J35 I found used in a music store I frequent . Walked in with absolutely no intention of buying a guitar ,but there it was.... Played it for 30-40 mins and walked home with it .This was 6 months ago and my god I can’t believe how I’ve bonded with this instrument. What a great guitar this is . The percussive thump the slope Gibson’s are noted for with the loud resonant dry projection a mahogany Dreadnought is cherished for . Call me happy, smitten and totally in love with my J35 .
Proclaimer888 Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Only played one J35 and loved it.......problem is I am only allowed 1 horse in the stable, a J45. Otherwise I would have a J35 & J29!!
BoSoxBiker Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Congratulations!!! That's a wonderful experience. I'm very happy for you. I hope one-day you can post a video or audio clip and a pic to share it with us. Happy playing!
zombywoof Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Congrats! The thing that has mystified me about Bozeman-made Gibsons is there are certain variations on a given model which I prefer over others. Thing is while the bling may vary there are no significant structural differences between the guitars that I can discern. So if you asked me what my favorite SJs have been I would quickly come back with he Guthrie/Kristofferson guitars. When it comes to the J35, to my ears they sound brighter almost like they have a touch of Taylor DNA in them. My brain tells me that is has to be a fig newton of my imagination.. But my ears just so not agree with my brain. Maybe in the end though I am just on puppy chow.

kelly campbell Posted July 3, 2019 Posted July 3, 2019 Cool! Congratulations. I have bonded with guitars like that mainly Gibson's but also a D28 as well. Have fun playing.
Fidalgo Posted July 12, 2019 Posted July 12, 2019 I had a 2014 J35, and liked it as much you like yours. I wanted/needed a bit more string spacing, and found a J35 Fuller's. I absolutely love it. So much so, that I think about it when I am away from home. The 2014 now lives in Quebec with an equally new happy owner.
