This Gibson J-185 from 2007 is a stunning example of Gibson's classic small jumbo, renowned for its comfortable feel and balanced, articulate tone. The beautiful flame-figured maple back and sides, coupled with a natural Sitka spruce top, create a visually striking instrument. Sonically, this guitar delivers a crisp and loud sound that lasts for days, with the focus and projection that maple is famous for.
This guitar has been played and loved, giving it a comfortable, broken-in feel. It is in Very Good condition. There is a stable, hairline finish crack on the top behind the bridge; an internal inspection confirms this is superficial and does not go through the wood. The guitar also shows mild to moderate, even fret wear up to the 8th fret, and plays very well. The factory-equipped LR Baggs Element undersaddle pickup and preamp system makes this a versatile, stage-ready instrument. This is a fantastic all-around Gibson acoustic, ready for its next chapter. It includes its original hardshell case.
