One of the most desirable and rarer Gibson flatop models, its an absolute delight to get this J-185 model in! A 16" version of the J-200, its lighter bracing and less ornate design make it more interesting in it's voicing, comfortable and projects even with the lightest touch. This example came to us in less than perfect condition but was carefully restored by Butch Boswell, and now plays better than ever. It's a rare opportunity to pick up one of the best models that Gibson made!

This example has had a neck reset, refret, truss rod nut replaced, replaced bridge with the original in the case. It has a C neck profile that measures .886"/1st and .983"/12th. Serial #A18254, this guitar comes with a non original chipboard case and a reissue Lifton J-185 case.

“There is truly nothing like it. The highest quality professional gear and The Rudy’s custom shop are undeniably one of the best!” Mike S.
