Custom made for Fuller's Guitars in Houston to the specs* of a 1939 J-35:
Adirondack spruce top (and bracing),
Mahogany back and sides,
Hot hide glue construction on braces, neck joint,
24.75" scale,
1.75" nut width, string spacing there just over 1 1/2" (see picture),
2 3/16" spacing at saddle,
"Luthier's Choice" neck profile; C-shaped with a bit of shoulder to it. No V.
The original owner abused the original case, so this one comes in a decent (Golden Gate) replacement in great shape.
The guitar is in excellent condition. Not mint but as close to "like new" as you'd want. Some swirls. Even the back is mostly ding, scratch or dent free. Again, I’m trying not to get too familiar with it, but already it’s clear the Adirondack top will take everything you give it; this thing moves a lot of air! Still, I don’t think it’s far along it its break-in process.
*Here's some further info about the specs, found online: "This guitar includes specs that are accurate for the 1939 J-35. The J-35 first appeared in 1936 and was named for its retail price at the time, $35.00 (just as the J-45 was named at its introduction in 1942 for its $45.00 price). The only concession to period accuracy was the bracing pattern. In 1939 this guitar had 3 non-scalloped tone bars below the bridge plate. This guitar has 2 scalloped tone bars which is correct for the 1941-42 versions of this guitar as well as the J-45 that followed. Gibson made this change back then for sonic benefits, so I guess Fuller decided not to argue with that."
