This Fairbanks Guitars - F-35 is a wonderful example of a two-tone bar vintage-inspired Jumbo, crafted by luthier Dale Fairbanks of Burlington, VT. Featuring a Red Spruce top, paired with Honduran Mahogany back and sides, this F-35 has the sort of powerful, resonant low-end growl, and quick string response, that is a hallmark of this style build. The high-end is focused and articulate, and handles a light touch well, but can also handle dinging into a fiddle tune.
The aged finish is tasteful, bringing a vintage appeal while not being overdone, instead it has the vibe of a well taken care of vintage guitar. The inside of this guitar is like a cathedral to luthiery and craftsmanship, with every brace meticulously shaped and sanded. If you're looking for a boutique made, vintage-inspired 35-style model, this is definitely one to get to know. Includes a free Mass Street setup to your preferences and the original TKL Deluxe hardshell case.
