Crossing Platforms, Crossing GenresOne 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.Case IncludedSetup IncludedLifetime Warranty1952 J-185 SpecificationsBodyBody Shape J-185Top Thermally Aged Sitka spruceBack Flame mapleSide Flame mapleBracing Traditional Hand Scalloped X-bracing, with hide glueBinding Multi-ply top, multi-ply backFinish Thin Finish Nitrocellulose, VOSNeckMaterial MahoganyProfile VScale Length 24.75" / 628.65mmFingerboard Material RosewoodFingerboard Radius 12"Number Of Frets 20Frets StandardNut Material BoneNut Width 1.72" / 43.81mmInlays Mother-of-pearl ParallelogramsJoint Compound Dovetail Neck-to-body JointHardwareTuner Plating GoldBridge Belly up, holes at rear, open slotSaddle Material BoneTuning Machines Gotoh KeystonePickguard J-185Truss Rod Cover BlackBridge Pins BoneElectronicsUnder Saddle Pickup NoneMiscellaneousStrings 0.053, 0.042, 0.032, 0.024, 0.016, 0.012Case Period Correct CaseAccessories Includes Gibson Accessory KitIn order to continually improve the design, quality and performance of our products and instruments and to make use of the best materials at all times, Gibson reserves the right to change specifications without notice.
