Luxurious details, impeccable craftsmanship, and sublime woods for a gorgeous performer's piece.

Mother-of-pearl split parallelogram inlays on the bound rosewood fretboard, distinctive Maltese cross bridge inlays, late 50s-style tortoise pickguard, and 4-ply top binding combine for a stunning visual statement. Full, bold tone is generated by a solid Sitka spruce top that's given snappy projection by solid Eastern maple back and sides all faithfully amplified by the L.R. Baggs pickup. V-profile mahogany neck and narrow waist offer long-term playing comfort. Includes Gibson hardshell case.

  • Solid Sitka spruce top
  • Solid eastern maple back and sides
  • Bound rosewood fretboard
  • Mahogany V-shaped neck
  • 4-ply top binding
  • Nickel Gotoh tuners

Gibson Acoustic J-185 Modern Classics Series (Vintage Sunburst) Reviews

9/10

gibson j185

— Kevin Smith October 13, 2006

Looks gorgeous, finger picking produces sound that makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Huge sustain, massive bottom end. Strumming requires thought, as the resonance creates a delay, like each frequency is waiting to speak. The finish is not brilliant, especially around the nut, but most of the little errors can be polished out whilst you are setting up the instrument. Throw away the Gibson Brightwire strings and fit some Phozy Bronze Martins. I always wanted a Gibson, and this guitar does not dissappoint me. Be careful to select an instrument with enough neck-set to give you the ability to alter the action. Some necks are set at too low an angle for future adjustment.Also remember, these instruments are assembled 5000 feet above sea level, so let it aclimatise for a few months before making any adjustments. You will not want to put it down!

Price Matching

Dolphin Music brings you the best music gear at the best price. We are committed to superior customer service and have extensive product knowledge. However, in today’s market we may not always be aware of all the price fluctuations of the products we sell. So, we offer competitive price matching.

Please fill in the following form to request a price match.

What prices we will match?

We will compare prices for new, direct from manufacturer items, excluding any add-ons, options, or other special features which may affect price.

The item must be new and must be the exact same make and model (ie, the same size, version, etc.).

Since our postage charges are lower than most of the shops, the comparison price must be a "delivered cost" to the consumer.

If we are unable to verify the previous condition, we will notify you that we require additional information to verify the Price Match request. Our goal is to make this policy simple and hassle-free. We are committed to responding to your requests quickly.

The price you have found must be the Internet Retailer's regular, advertised price for a current and available item. The price you found cannot be a closeout, discontinued, blemished, year-end, inventory reduction, or any other type of advertised sale price.

Price Matching requests may not be combined with any other promotional discounts, specials or other price incentives.

Prices and price sources you have found which do not meet the above criteria or in which incomplete or inaccurate information is provided to us, will not be approved for our Price Match.
