The specialist's opinion
One of the most legendary Gibsons of all time, the J-185 was originally released in 1951.
Designed to be slightly smaller than the SJ-200, the J-185 used similar woods.
This 1952 Custom Historic J-185 is equipped with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top and a beautiful flamed maple for the back and sides.
