Product Description

A very fine early J-185, it's been played a lot and has tons of the typical Gibson finish crazing on the neck, top and sides. The finish on the back of the neck is extremely worn and the top has areas of major wear around the soundhole and next to the pickguard, while the back and sides are clean. The earlier J-185s, until some time in 1955, have scalloped braces and thus lighter weight and more open tonally. This guy hasn't been played in decades yet sounds fantastic; with a little breaking in it will be amazing.
