{"product_id":"2023-gibson-j-35-30s-faded","title":"2023 Gibson J-35 30's Faded","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst introduced in 1936 during the depths of the Great Depression, the J-35 was Gibson’s answer to working musicians seeking a genuine round-shoulder, flat-top acoustic with raw power and zero unnecessary frills. This 2023 \"30's Faded\" model from the Bozeman factory in Montana pays brilliant tribute to those legendary pre-war workhorses, offering pre-war character, historic appointments, and modern acoustic performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe defining characteristic of the 30's Faded Series is its ultra-thin satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. By skipping the heavy high-gloss coats, Gibson allows the solid Sitka Spruce top and solid Mahogany back and sides to resonate with maximum freedom right out of the box. Coupled with hand-scalloped advanced X-bracing and a traditional 24.75\" short scale length, this slope-shoulder dreadnought delivers a dry, woody, and exceptionally punchy acoustic voice. It boasts an immediate, bark-like midrange attack and warm, compressed lows that make it an absolute power-house for flatpicking and vocal accompaniment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisually, this J-35 is dripping with authentic 1930s vibe. The natural-finish body is highlighted by a striking, period-correct \"firestripe\" pickguard and a traditional rectangle rosewood bridge with a compensated bone saddle. The Mahogany neck is carved to a comfortable, rounded \"Rosewood\" profile that feels rock-solid in the hand, topped with a Rosewood fingerboard featuring mother-of-pearl dot inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes factory-fitted with an LR Baggs VTC pickup system, complete with discreet soundhole-mounted volume and tone controls, making it stage-ready for modern players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs seen in the photo, this 2023 example is in immaculate, near-mint condition. The smooth satin finish is virtually flawless, showing no noticeable pick wear, no dings, and no lacquer checking. The frets are as-new, the neck is straight, and the onboard LR Baggs electronics function perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes its original Gibson hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis guitar has been given a full service by our luthiers at the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/thevintageinstrumentworkshop.com\/\" title=\"Vintage Instrument Workshop\"\u003eVintage Instrument Workshop\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and includes a 2 year warranty.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57146584826234,"sku":null,"price":1595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/1189\/files\/2023GibsonJ-3530_sFaded.jpg?v=1785930945","url":"https:\/\/notomguitars.com\/products\/2023-gibson-j-35-30s-faded","provider":"No.Tom Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
