(Click for a close-up)

Garrison has dressed-up their G-30 Series with tortoise shell, ebony, abalone and gold to create the Garrison G-35 Series.

The G-35 features high-gloss solid Sitka Spruce top, satin finish solid Canadian Birch back and sides, Ebony fretboard and bridge, Abalone inlay on fretboard and bridge pins, Rosewood peghead veneer on a solid Mahogany neck, custom Garrison gold plated tuners, and tortoise shell pickguard. The G-35 Series also features our contemporary diamond design, mahogany with walnut inlay rosette. Also, included is the Buzz Feiten Tuning System, D'Addario EXP Strings, TUSQ nut and saddle and for those wanting to plug in -- optional Fishman Prefix Electronics.

Garrison's method of guitar construction is also found inside the G-35 Series. The Griffiths Active Bracing System (GABS) integrates the binding, kerfing, bridge plate and all the braces into one glass-fibre component. Single-unit bracing means no matter where you create a vibration on a Garrison guitar, the resonance has an uninterrupted path to travel throughout the instrument, resulting in a balanced, rich tone. GABS technology eliminates more than 30 individually machined and installed wood pieces found in traditional bracing systems. This provides enhanced structural stability that would have taken hours to construct.

The G-35 comes standard with a custom-fit Garrison hardshell case, 5-Year Transferable Warranty and is available right and left-handed (at no extra charge), cutaway and in 12-string models.
