Gibson J-185 Century 12-Fret Vintage Sunburst

Expressive 12-Fret Jumbo With Distinctive Tone!

The Gibson J-185 Century 12-Fret marries classic construction with a special design that delivers an unusually warm and dynamic tonal response.

Traditional Jumbo Body Reimagined

The J-185 ranks among the most sonically versatile models in Gibson's portfolio. With its slightly more compact jumbo shape it offers a balanced blend of volume, clarity and playing comfort. The 12-fret construction shifts the bridge closer to the center of the top, allowing the top to vibrate more freely and producing an especially resonant, full tone.

Solid Tonewoods for Maximum Depth of Tone

The combination of a solid Sitka spruce top and mahogany back and sides delivers a balanced sonic picture with clear highs, warm mids and a controlled low end. This construction responds sensitively to your playing and really shines for fingerstyle as well as for dynamic picking.

Comfortable Neck and Refined Craftsmanship

The mahogany neck in a SlimTaper 12-Fret profile feels comfortable in the hand and enables effortless playability. The rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl dots offers a classic look and precise feel. The traditional dovetail neck joint ensures optimal vibration transfer and stability.

Vintage-Inspired Hardware

Open Golden Age tuners and a classic rectangular rosewood bridge underline the authentic character of this instrument. The bone nut and saddle further improve tonal transfer and sustain.
