Gibson J185, made in 2008 and in very good condition other than a few small dings, some light surface scratches and a plugged strap button hole on the underside of the neck heel. Features include a solid Sitka Spruce top, solid Maple back and sides, a 1.72" nut width and a 24.75" scale length. Complete with LR Baggs Element pickup and case.
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 slighty smaller than its larger companion, the SJ-200, the J-185 still offers superior performance and tone. The J-185 Original maintains 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.
