Gibson Acoustic J-35 - Antique Natural

Exquisite, Classic Acoustic Tone from Gibson
Introduced in the mid-'30s, the J-35 was Gibson's answer to a call for a quality guitar with unrivaled tone and an incredible price. The 2018 J-35 is a continuation of that original round-shoulder flat top with Gibson's historically celebrated, full-bodied acoustic tone. The J-35 is handcrafted with carefully selected tonewoods — solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back, sides, and neck. Together these American-grown woods produce the warm, expressive tone that has made Gibson acoustics highly sought after for decades by players worldwide. The short-scale neck with dovetail neck-to-body joint provides for a smooth tonal response and easy playing. A finish hand-sprayed with Gibson's signature nitrocellulose lacquer preserves the natural grain and lends a clean, modern look while enhancing the guitar’s resonance. A unique fire-stripe pickguard, multi-ply top binding, and soundhole rosette also add to the vintage Gibson style and feel. Equipped with an LR Baggs VTC pickup, the J-35 produces full, rich acoustic tone when plugged in. Players here at Sweetwater are known to reach for a J-35 over and over when performing or casually strumming at home.

The perfect tonewoods, body shape, and bracing for natural acoustic projection
Reintroduced in 2013, the J-35 acoustic-electric guitar represents a new direction for Gibson Acoustic's round-shoulder dreadnought body style. From its initial concept, the designers at Gibson wanted the J-35 to feature a unique combination of North American tonewoods, including mahogany back and sides topped by Sitka spruce. The outcome was a classic full-bodied tone with a slightly different sonic result — a result that players of the new J-35 agree is warm, resonant, and full. Paired with Gibson's scalloped bracing and short-scale neck, the J-35 rewards you with an easy-playing feel and a phenomenal amount of natural acoustic projection.

The Gibson Acoustic J-35 comes with LR Baggs's popular VTC acoustic pickup system, a popular choice among acoustic guitarists at Sweetwater. This system features a low-profile under-saddle transducer that's proven more stable and durable than many standard ribbon-type pickups. Its sleek and effective design removes unnecessary internal components to enhance the coupling between the pickup and the guitar and improves the sensitivity of the transducer for a robust, lively, and natural acoustic sound with excellent dynamics and delicate high end. Combined with an onboard preamplifier with an unobtrusive and removable volume control mounted just inside the soundhole, the Element gives your J-35 the amplification you need with zero compromises for tone or convenience.




Round-shoulder style for comfort
Descending from Gibson's classic J-45 acoustic guitar, round-shoulder dreadnoughts are steeped in Gibson tradition and lauded for their pure, rich tones and impressive volume. With smooth lines and a curvy shape, round-shoulder-style guitars invite a close relationship with their respective guitarists: their body shape makes these guitars easier to hold whether standing or sitting. The Gibson J-35 acoustic-electric brings all of these classic qualities and more together in a workhorse guitar.
