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

It should be considered normal.
...But with all the evil in this world it makes people look like saints. Rob, I’m sure you’re awesome and what you did was right but I’ll never understand why we consider dishonesty the norm and honesty something special. Congrats on the sale. Hard to beat an old Gibson!
