Have you always loved the sound of a J-200 but found it a little too large for you. Then this 1951 Gibson J-185 may be just what you’ve been looking for. Some people say this is the perfect guitar. Original brown hard shell case included. - This 1951 example is one of the earliest J-185s made. Only 66 sunburst examples were built during this introductory year, along with 11 in natural. All of these first-year 185s shipped within the last three months of 1951, this one around the beginning of November. This very early model feels slightly lighter in construction compared with later 1950s examples, though it's hard to see specific differences. This guitar is one of only 648 total sunburst J-185's built in the entire decade. - - - - #gibsonj185 #gibsonjumbo #gibsonflattops #vintagegibson #vintagegibsonguitarsofinstagram #vintagegibsonguitar #guitarforsale #gibsonacoustic #gibsonacousticguitar #gibsonflattops (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpxwGNjOugV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
