Presentation
The Gibson 1952 J-185 Vintage Sunburst is a faithful reissue of a historic model, originally designed as a more compact alternative to the famous SJ-200. Its flame maple body and heat-aged Sitka spruce top give it a warm, well-balanced sound, ideal for both chordal playing and melodic lines.
The V-shaped mahogany neck provides a comfortable, stable grip, while the rosewood fingerboard with mother-of-pearl parallelograms reflects Gibson's craftsmanship. With its 20 frets and 24.75" scale, it offers fluid, natural playability.
The openwork belly-up bridge, decorated with mother-of-pearl Maltese crosses, is a unique aesthetic signature, reinforcing the historical identity of this model. The Gotoh Keystone tuning machines guarantee reliable tuning, and the included vintage case protects the instrument with elegance.
Designed for musicians and collectors, the J-185 Vintage Sunburst embodies the balance between tradition and modernity. It's for anyone looking for an expressive acoustic guitar capable of conveying the full richness of their compositions, whether in the studio, on stage or in an intimate setting.
