With the geometry corrected, the original bridge could be reglued and a neck reset and refret (along with a PLEK fret dress) could be completed. A new nut and saddle were installed, and a pair of top cracks were addressed and repaired. A pair of small side cracks were also repaired. The final step was to repair a crack in the tailblock, and install a reinforcement strip to help support it. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finish is original, with no overspray. There is evidence of there being replacement tuners installed at one point, however the originals have been reinstalled with replacement tuner buttons. There is, of course, playwear throughout that really gives this vintage guitar a marvelous played-in charm. A wonderful vintage Gibson that's been given a thorough and professional restoration, this is a great sounding and now playing, J-35.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14-Fret Slope-Shoulder Body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-Tone Bar Bracing (Straight Brace)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpruce top with Sunburst Finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany Back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany Neck with V-Shape Profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fingerboard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilkscreened Gibson script logo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Kluson tuners with replaced buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal Bridge with replacement cut-through saddle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 3\/4\" nut width\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEra-appropriate Hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFON: 124C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50950337265883,"sku":"1937-GbisonJ35SB-124C","price":14950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0202\/0250\/files\/1937-GibsonJ35SB-124C-fcls.jpg?v=1793213574","url":"https:\/\/massstreetmusic.mom\/products\/gibson-guitars-1937-j-35-sunburst","provider":"Mass Street Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
