Here is a lightly played Gibson Custom Shop 52 J-185 ... terrifc jumbo, but not quite as large as the J-200 which makes it a little more comfortable on the couch. Dripping with vintage Gibson maple tone, aged finish but mint condition, terrific guitar. Gibson sez: "One of the most fabled Gibsons of all time, the J-185 was originally released in 1951. Designed to be just slightly smaller in proportion to the larger SJ-200, the J-185 used similar appointments, Sitka spruce and maple back and sides for its construction. This Custom Historic 1952 J-185 is enhanced with a thermally aged Sitka spruce top and gorgeous flame maple back and sides. Sporting classic J-185 appointments including iconic Maltese crosses inlaid in mother-of-pearl on the open slot bridge, this is a rare model, but highly desired by artists and performers worldwide."
