Gibson J-185 Original - Vintage Sunburst - Including Case
The J-185 is regarded by many as one of Gibson's finest acoustic instruments, and yet it still feels somewhat obscure—much to the delight of devoted Gibson enthusiasts.
Originally introduced in the early 1950s and designed to be slightly smaller than its larger counterpart, the SJ-200, the J-185 still delivers outstanding performance and superb tone. The J-185 Original preserves an unsurpassed balance of bass, midrange and treble, with every note across the fingerboard responding equally. Many celebrate it as the guitar with the perfect body shape and size for any player.
Quality Checked
So you can enjoy this instrument for years, it has been inspected and pre-setup by Kirstein quality control. This is carried out in our guitar workshop by our guitar technicians. We guarantee the flawless condition with a certificate that is included with the instrument.
A Jumbo With Unrivaled Tonal Balance!
