2013 J 35

I played two at my local 5 star and they were both awesome. One was very balanced and put together, the other a little bass heavy and raw. I couldn't believe the asking price and I momentarily forgot about the whole vintage thing...

I played one of these at my Seattle book release party a couple of weeks ago and really liked it. Sure, the Banner on a J-35 drives me crazy, but I'm an obsessive Bannerhead. The guitar is fantastic without regard to its price. Taking into account its price, imho it's a steal.

 

I even chose the J-25 to play for the evening's closing jam:

Exactly why I always say that it all comes down to the individual guitar.

 

Listening to Sal's clip, if I was in the market, I don't know that I would exactly be rushing out to try one. It sounded nice enough when strummed, but when he started picking out a few individual notes it kind of fell apart a bit.

John was so excited about this guitar, he missed typing the name by one digit.

 

"J-35" = "Yes!"

 

"J-25" = "no, not really"

[biggrin]

 

I was only off by about 30%. That's pretty good for me.
