Take it with you to use as a comparison.

I say this because I like J15’s and J45’s.
I’ve yet to be moved by a J35.
And the three are similar. The 35 has different bracing, and whatever the difference is, I don’t care for it at all.
So, if you like that Eastman take it with you to A/B the guitars.
If you’re doing it at a GC, remember they often over humidify and the guitars sound “wet”.
The Gibson J-35 has the Advanced Jumbo bracing pattern.
