Default 1937 Gibson J-35 Sunburst Sold Pending Approval

Just throwing this out there folks.

I have a beautiful vintage J-35 in great shape. I don't play it much anymore since I find myself almost exclusively playing my flamencos. And when I do play steel string, its always the 12 fret wide necks that I go to.

So here we go! Virtually crack-free except for a small, repaired B-string kind. All original except for one tuner screw (not hard to find). I would offer the guitar, at a loss, for the firm price of Sold or place a trade value at Sold for the following:

A 12 fret 000 with at least 1 13/16" nut width and full neck profile with saddle spacing no less than 2 1/4, preferably rosewood with an Adi or European top, but open to others. I like Martins (without the low oval) and Santa Cruz but, again, open to others.

I am sort of partial to a 000-28NB.

Not my first choice but would consider an OM with the right neck profile. Rosewood only for the OM.

Would prefer no super-luthiery kind of stuff as I would like to keep it basic-classic.

I already have a killer 12 fret D so wouldn't need another.

If anyone has any interest in making something happen, PM me and I'll forward photos and more details. A private email address, for me at least, makes it easier to send photos.

I'm also reachable by phone or text at 575-613-0683.

Cheers,
Rob

Lots of testimonials about "great seller" on AGF, but here's one that's hard to beat. A week after I'd bought a guitar from Rob I got a check in the mail. He said I'd miscounted, and the envelope I'd left him had one too many $100 bills.

Rob, we're gonna need photos here

Good to hear stories like this. I'd like to think I'd do the same.

Also, +100 on the "need photos"! Other than an original 30's AJ or Smeck.. that's just about the vintage guitar that I'd want more than *anything. (ok, well, on 2nd thought I can think of a few others too - but that's right up there! )

good luck with the sale! maybe someday
