This Gibson J-185 Original Acoustic-Electric Guitar in Vintage Sunburst is brand new and includes its original hardshell case, certificate of authenticity, and manufacturer's warranty.
Gibson's most-loved Jumbo model, the 185 pairs a Sitka Spruce top with FIgured Maple back and sides. This guitar has a big, bold sound that is the perfect backdrop to lead players and singers. This guitar comes loaded with the LR Baggs VTC Pickup System so it's ready for any scenario you may find yourself in.
The J-185 is loaded with aesthetic upgrades like an inlaid Rosewood Bridge, Split Parallelogram inlays, a bound fingerboard and body, and a gorgeous nitro-cellulose Vintage Sunburst lacquer finish. This beautiful guitar looks as good as it sounds.
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.
