This Gibson J-185 Original Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Vintage Sunburst is brand new and includes its manufacturer's warranty and original hardshell case.
The J-185 is a Jumbo Bodied guitar that provides a full, rich tone with its beautifully figured maple back and sides. A Sitka spruce top helps the guitar pump sound efficiently. The guitar produces a rich full sound that is well-balanced and clear sounding.
The neck is made from Mahogany which is then topped with a Rosewood fingerboard. The neck is carved to a SlimTaper Profile which is very comfortable in all positions. The fingerboard is bound for the classic, dressed-up Gibson look. Mother of Pearl Parallelogram Inlays complete the outfit, perfectly!
The J-185 is believed by many to be one of Gibson's best acoustic instruments, yet it seems to be fairly obscure, much to the delight of devoted Gibson lovers. Originally released in the early 1950s and designed to be slightly smaller than its larger companion, the SJ-200, the J-185 still offers superior performance and tone. The J-185 Original maintains an unsurpassed balance of lows, mids, and highs, with equal response to every note on the fretboard. Acclaimed by many as the perfect body size and shape for any player.
