Originally known as the Jumbo 35, the J-35 was the predecessor to the iconic J-45. Production stopped during World War II, but the model saw a reissue window in the late 1980s and a limited in run of 250 specimens in 1995.
In 1994 Gibson resurrected the J-35 as a full production model again, under the internal designation Model RS35. It follows the original specs, from the slope-shoulder dreadnought body to the Sitka Spruce/Mahogany construction to the '40s era tigerstripe pickguard and the banner headstock. The factory fitted under saddle pickup has been replaced with the excellent Fishman single coil sound hole pickup, wired in directly to the end pin. The saddle has been replaced with a Tusk saddle.
This 2016 model is in really good condition although does have some small marks to top and side, and minor buckle rash to the back (see last 6 pictures). Setup with a new set of Dragon Skin 12s, and comes complete with its original Gibson hard case.
