Gibson J-185 12-String Limited-Edition Acoustic-Electric Guitar Vintage Sunburst
Description
The Gibson J-185 12-String Limited-Edition acoustic-electric guitar delivers a lush, shimmering 12-string tone perfect for folk, rock and pop. Its jumbo body shaped from solid Sitka spruce and mahogany provides full, balanced resonance with clear, ringing highs. The short-scale mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard make navigating the 12 strings effortless. Paired with premium electronics, this 12-string lets you craft studio-quality recordings or perform onstage.
Peerless 12-String Tone
With a solid Sitka spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the J-185 12-String pumps out the quintessential 12-string sound. The jumbo body's airy tonechamber generates ringing chime and sustain. The wider string spacing gives single notes and chords a jangly shimmer. And the shorter scale reduces tension for comfortable playing. Whether strumming chords or picking melodies, this 12-string's tone inspires creativity.
Playability and Versatility
The J-185 12-String's mahogany neck has a rounded profile for effortless fretting. Its rosewood fingerboard's smoothness speeds up chord changes and solos. And the shorter 24.75" scale makes barre chords and stretches a breeze. With its built-in L.R. Baggs Element pickup, you have acoustic and electric tones on tap. Shape your amplified sound with the pickup's volume and tone controls, then plug into an amp or mixer and lay down recordings or perform onstage. Versatile and playable, this 12-string excels in any musical scenario.
Premium Appointments
As a limited edition, the J-185 12-String receives premium touches like mother-of-pearl fingerboard inlays, Grover Rotomatic tuners and a tortoiseshell pickguard. Its satin nitrocellulose lacquer finish protects the all-solid woods while enhancing their beauty. And it includes a hardshell case for safe transport and storage. For discerning 12-string players who want tone, playability and style, the Gibson J-185 12-String Limited-Edition acoustic-electric guitar is ideal.
