JUMBO ACOUSTIC WITH SOLID SITKA SPRUCE TOP, FIGURED MAPLE BACK AND SIDES, MAHOGANY NECK, ROSEWOOD FRETBOARD WITH CLASSIC GIBSON PARALLEL INLAYS, L.R.BAGGS ACTIVE PICKUP SYSTEM AND NICKEL GROVER TUNERS
The first Gibson J-185 was introduced in 1951, giving players a broader choice of flat-top acoustic guitars. It quickly became a hit. With a slightly smaller body than Gibson's fabled Super Jumbos, the J-185 offers an excellent alternative for players seeking a smaller body style without sacrificing acoustic power and projection. Traditionally, the J-185 features a body length of 20-1/4", a width of 16", and a body depth of 4-7/8", producing an big sound with clear acoustics, making it equally impressive for powerful strumming or delicate fingerpicking, and everything in between.
