I think the J-35 is awesome. I played one at a GC recently, and it is the first Gibson I've played that I actually have considered owning. Their sound rarely does it for me. I'll be in the store and I'll hear someone else play a J-45 and it will sound great, but they just don't come alive for me when I play. The J-35, on the other hand, did.
I didn't think it was a good fit for my type of fingerstyle so I left without it, but for strumming I thought it was awesome.
