As a vintage version of Gibson’s popular J-200, the J-185 is a legend in its own right. With its solid Sitka spruce top and flamed maple back and sides, this acoustic produces a beautifully balanced and robust tone with full range of frequency.
From Gibson:
“A Jumbo with unparalleled tonal balance
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 slight 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.”
