2005 Gibson J-185 w/case
4lbs 8oz.
Very good condition. Especially, considering its almost 20yrs old! See all pics. There are several small scratches, swirls and nicks. Definitely a players guitar. This one is a cannon! Sounds amazing and plays great. Medium fretwear but not noticing any buzzing or fretting out.
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.
