Gibson Acoustic '30s J-35 Acoustic electric in Faded Natural
The Gibson J-35 evolved from the struggles that guitar builders faced during the Great Depression, but itâs becoming an enduring sleeper hit for professional guitarists. The Gisbon J-35 borrows features from Gibsonâs powerful jumbo body shape, such as the jumboâs large volume-enhancing lower bout. But the J-35âs feel is slimmer and easier to handle than a massive jumbo. A round-shoulder design keeps this guitarâs voice sweet and articulate, whether youâre strumming chords or fingerpicking. Each J-35 is built in Bozeman, Montana, by passionate artisans who understand what makes this guitar such an enduring option for discerning players. This acoustic-electric features gig-ready LR Baggs VTC electronics and glorious solid-wood construction. A spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides, a mahogany neck, and a rosewood fingerboard yield distinct resonance packed with equal clarity and depth. Itâs a multi-purpose masterpiece that Sweetwater players highly recommend having on hand for studio sessions, gigs, and more!
Spruce and mahogany â the perfect pairing!
Few acoustic tonewood pairings capture the magic of mahogany and spruce. Mahogany shapes and holds notes with excellent focus, sustain, and midrange, while spruce adds a dash of top-end treble magic (not to mention strong volume and projection). This GibsonJ-35 features a satin-finished Sitka spruce top with mahogany back and sides. Also, premium hardware, including a rosewood bridge, bone saddle, and a bone nut, ensures that your guitar strings and tonewoods always resonate with strength and clarity, resulting in a playing experience like no other.
Smooth playability
The J-35âs neck is made from satin-finished mahogany, a classic choice that feels natural, sturdy, and fluid. The neck features a smooth 19-fret rosewood fingerboard with stunning dot mother-of-pearl inlays. The fingerboard features Gibsonâs reliable 24.75-inch scale, which guarantees a slightly softer, slinkier string feel than the average acoustic â which is especially useful if youâre big on bends, hammer-ons, or progressive fingerpicking! Additionally, this guitar comes equipped with ultra-sturdy Gotoh tuners that ensure reliable performance and plenty of solid playtime â with tuning breaks few and far in between.
LR Baggs VTC electronics
LR Baggs VTC electronics capture the kind of amplified acoustic tone youâd expect from a world-class audio engineer working overtime. At the core of the VTC system is an LR Baggs Element pickup with tone and volume controls, which is a unique build that tracks the guitar topâs vibrations instead of string attack. VTC technology saturates amplified tone with extra harmonic content and analog warmth thatâs natural sounding yet noticeably better than a standard acoustic pickup. Additional dynamic automatic EQ handles problematic frequencies as they arise with touch-sensitive compression that works with your playing for a more authentic amplified tone thatâs tough to beat.
