Gibson J-35 30s Faded, Natural, Round Shoulder Dreadnought Acoustic GuitarThe Gibson J 35 30s Faded pays homage to the classic 1930s round shoulder dreadnought design originally created as an economical alternative to more expensive guitars in the line. This 30s Faded model boasts a solid Sitka Spruce top over a solid Mahogany back and sides for balanced output across the tonal spectrum. The finish is a satin nitro lacquer which allows the instrument to feel like an old friend without any actual wear or aging.
