Key Features
Iconicly seasoned. An acoustic that has risen from the ashes once again. The Gibson 1936 J-35 is back and in full swing with a couple of modified twists. Born from the desire of the Gibson Jumbo sound but at a more affordable price at the time of the Great Depression, the 1936 J-45 gave musicians access to the rich balanced tone they wanted. This custom historic model has all the same quality look and feel. Boasting the traditional elements of a V neck profile, Mahogany body and vintage sunburst finish, you'll feel like you've gone back decades to a legendary time of music.
A sound that can never be forgotten. An advanced jumbo body gives all the projection you need to make sure the gorgeously thick tone is heard. Although the J-35 was designed as a more affordable option, sound and quality were never compromised. And they are still a priority. An instrument that is all about the music, no-frills, no tricks, just pure musicianship. Complete your collection with this classic.

It's history in the palm of your hand. When it was first released, the 1936 J-45 was the Gibson's gift to flat-top players during the Great Depression. They offered quality at an affordable price. Now, guitar collectors and enthusiasts can get their hands on one that has been crafted in celebration of its heritage. A V shaped neck, wide 1.77" nut width, open-slot bridge, bone saddle, and strap cream button tuners all add to the classic character of this guitar.
If there's one thing Gibson do well, it's making acoustics that sound phenomenal. Through decades of quality, they have become one of the acoustic masters of our generation and this is no different with the 1936 J-45. In fact, their very quintessential sound bellows from it. Investing in a Gibson isn't just purchasing a guitar, it's believing in yourself and the power of music through top quality materials and carefully thought out craftsmanship. It's something that could make a huge difference to your sound and performance.
