Rambler Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 One of Gibson's nicer reissues. They came in several batches, some with adi tops, some sitka. Some with a non-radiused back, the the 30s, some like a J35. But mainly dry and crisp. Great for blues, rags, Americana. Really liked the one I played a few years back, more so than the Legend they had in the shop. But the, I play blues and rags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpbiii Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 This is not what you want, but I guess it may be related. There are two guitars in the picture that have the same bracing -- the 1935 Jumbo and the 1936 Jumbo35 Trojan The late 36 Trojans were the same as the 34-36 Jumbos except with a few cosmetic changes to reduce cost. Both have three tone bars. Here are some Trojan pictures Let's pick, -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rar Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks for the replies, I am trying to find out about the bracing used on the OJ, degree angle of X, number of tone bars. I've never measured the angle on mine, a 2006, but the top bracing is "advanced" (as on an AJ), so it should be fairly large. It has two tone bars. -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are some Trojan pictures Let's pick, -Tom I measure the angle of the X-brace in Tom's Trojan at 102.5 degrees, for what it's worth, but that could be off by .5 degree because of the fuzziness of the image, as good as it is. (Yes, I have tools to do that kind of stuff. It just happens to be one of the things I do at work.) I'm amazed at how small that bridge plate is.
