J35 semi-hollow Vintage Series
£5,350
Slightly smaller than a Gibson 335, the Case J35 VS has a 15" wide body width and is extremely well balanced on the strap. The guitar employs a traditional semi-hollow laminated construction with an alder centre block. The semi-hollow body creates a resonant, responsive tone, while the centre block maximises sustain and keeps feedback to a minimum. The neck is made from quarter sawn mahogany and has a beautiful dark rosewood fingerboard. The low lustre, Lake Placid blue finish and tinted multi binding have been beautifully aged and emanate 60s vibes.
All hardware is high quality and includes a vintage-style Kluson Tuneomatic with lightweight stopbar. Gotoh vintage tuners guarantee fine tuning and smooth operation. High quality CTS pots and Switchcraft components are used together with a 50’s wiring scheme to minimise treble loss when rolling back the volume.
Hand wound Bare Knuckle are fitted with an unpotted ’ Mule' humbucker in the bridge position and a humbucker size ‘Nantucket’ P90 in the neck position, chosen for their outstanding clarity and extended dynamic range. Even at low levels of gain, smooth harmonic feedback, full of overtones is possible, while clean sounds have depth and unmistakable vintage character.
