Description:
First introduced in 1951 as a slightly smaller, less flashy version of the popular J-200, the Gibson J-185 quickly became a legend legend of its own among players of the day. Now Gibson brings you that vintage design and sound with the Gibson Acoustic J-185 Vintage. Featuring a solid Sitka spruce top and flamed maple back and sides, this acoustic puts out the kind of tone that stops the convos and gets your audience's attention. Simply put, the J-185 produces a beautifully balanced, robust tone that spans the full frequency range.
In addition to these fine body tonewoods, a gorgeous mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard on the J-185 offers players impeccable response and playability. And when you are ready to plug this gorgeous instrument in, an LR Baggs VTC system delivers mind-blowing, authentic amplified acoustic tone.
