GIBSON 1951 J-185 ACOUSTIC.


 

  • CONDITION: Very Good.
  • TOP: Solid Spruce.
  • BACK/SIDES: Solid Maple.
  • F/BOARD: Rosewood.


    This is a very rare and valuable Gibson J-185. They where originally made between 1951-1958. According to the Gibson books only 643 sunburst where made and 270 natural, making a total of less than a thousand altogether. This one is in nice condition and plays and sounds lovely. It has a smaller body than a J-200 and is very comfortable to play. The price on this one is only a third of its book price because we are uncertain if it has had a replaced back at some time in its history. I along with our luthier, vintage guitar expert and Gibson rep can not say for sure. A back stripe has been added either way. Supplied with 50's (original?) hard case.
    Batch number is 9731 17.



  • PRICE………..£3250. inc. VAT.

    SOLD
