Gibson Acoustic J-185 Vintage, Vintage Sunburst Overview.
The stunning J-185 Vintage is like having a brand new guitar that has already been 'played in' for you at the factory! With its Thermally Aged solid Sitka Spruce top and ultra-thin 'Vintage Original Spec' nitrocellulose finish the J-185 resonates like few others. Solid flame maple make up the back & sides and like a J-185 of old, this is a true acoustic with no pickup installed. The slim taper Mahogany neck feels like a joy to play, whether you are a flat picker, finger picker or strummer this will cover all styles effortlessly and let you be the very best player you can be.
There's no substitute for a Gibson, the heritage and long list of users speaks for itself.
