2015 Gibson Banner J-35 Montana Natural Finish w Original Case Dreadnought Acoustic Guitar!

Here is a nice 2015 Gibson J-35 in Natural with the classic Banner-style headstock, a really cool modern interpretation of one of Gibson's most beloved vintage flat top designs. This is a Very Good Plus example that is exceptionally clean overall, with just a few light marks here and there. It has seen a little less than normal wear for its age and has clearly been well cared for.

This J-35 features the highly desirable vintage-style appointments, including the Firestripe pickguard and small rectangular bridge, giving it plenty of vintage Gibson character. The Natural finish also shows off the grain of the wood beautifully.

The guitar plays really well, with nice low action and plenty of saddle still showing. The action measures just under 6/64" on the bass side and 4/64" on the treble side at the 12th fret, making this a very comfortable guitar to play. The neck has a substantial vintage-inspired feel, measuring 0.89" at the first fret and 0.94" at the 10th fret, while the nut width is a comfortable 1.72".

With more than a decade of playing time under its belt, this J-35 is really starting to open up nicely. It has the mature, woody character you'd hope for from a well-played Gibson acoustic, and it is a fantastic combination of vintage-inspired styling, comfortable playability, and a nicely developed voice.

It comes complete with the original Gibson hardshell case, as shown.

  • Condition: Very Good Plus
  • Finish: Natural
  • Headstock: Banner Style
  • Pickguard: Firestripe
  • Bridge: Small Rectangle
  • Notes: Very clean overall with lighter-than-normal wear for its age; excellent playing example with nicely developed tone

Playability & Sound

This J-35 plays really well with comfortably low action and plenty of saddle still available for future setup work. The neck has a substantial, vintage-inspired profile that feels great in the hand without being overly large.

The guitar has also benefited from more than a decade of playing time and is opening up nicely. The tone has that warm, woody Gibson character you'd expect from a J-35, with plenty of depth and musicality.

Action at the 12th fret measures just under 6/64" on the bass side and 4/64" on the treble side, making this a particularly easy-playing example.
