Ok I searched for a decent review but only found some sound clips and and recordings that don’t give this guitar justice. First impressions are it's super light but feels unfinished. That faded they talk about cutting cost feels like raw wood like they just skipped out on finishing the guitar. Playability is flawless. Perfect right out of the box. The neck is a bit chunky but I like it. Sound is huge bold yet very even though out. From highs to lows and present mids it is very well balanced. Tye j35 has a very unique voice. In my honest opinion it’s a touch harsh like a D18 jangly twang with a Gibson growl. If I grabbed this off the rack and jammed on it before buying it I’d say it would be a tough one. I’m liking some qualities but not everything says this is the guitar for me. As far as value goes I believe this one is over priced by a lot actually. Would I order it again after playing it no. Don’t get me wrong it has its a great guitar just not one I’d go looking for.

I have a j45, it's kind of bright. The j35 has a warm but cutting sound, it's really easy to play. I'm thinking of getting one. The plain "satin" finish, I kind of like better than gloss, it's understated and it makes the guitar more airy and wood sounding. Not saying it's the most amazing guitar in the world but just saying that it certainly has its place.

i have always been a martin guy and have a d28, hd28, and a d18 i have played a couple gibson j-45's and even owned a gibson dove for awhile. and picked up a gibson g45 with the sound port which i kept a very short time .was never impressed. i talked to some people and watched some videos on this guitar so i tried it, i love it. gibson has always been over built i think, made them sturdy but lacking in resonance , the open pore style satin finish on this guitar allows it to breath and resonate and it sounds amazing. i played a satin martin d28 not long ago to, there is something to this very thin satin finish. this guitar has that gibson tone but its like it woke up just a bit. very woody tone. but like any acoustic, you should play it to see if it fits you......
