The Story

J-185 Koa Acoustic-Electric Natural 2001

With a slightly shrunken-down Jumbo size, this is a used and in overall excellent condition Gibson J-185 acoustic guitar built in 2001 with koa back and sides. The J-185 is comfortable for those who want the bolder tone of a Jumbo but perhaps a smaller size so it isn't cumbersome for smaller-sized players. The koa looks fantastic with figuring throughout the body, and it pumps out a crisp treble with a punchy midrange! The guitar looks to be in excellent condition and includes the original case.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
