Folk guitar
The first Gibson J-185, introduced in 1951, quickly became popular thanks to its more accessible size than the Super Jumbo SJ-200, and its consistently clear, powerful sound. An ideal crossover guitar between the two stallions, the J-45 and the J-200, the GIBSON Acoustic Custom Shop Historic Collection 1952 J-185 (CSRS8552AN) is a splendid replica of the J-185.
Thanks in particular to its top and bracing made from "Thermally Aged" torrefied wood, this beauty delivers real emotions, the feeling of playing an authentic vintage instrument that has improved over the decades.
The "Thermally Aged" process subjects the essences to accelerated drying through exposure to high temperatures. Jumbo steel-string acoustic guitar, flamed Adirondack spruce top, Adirondack spruce bracing, flamed maple back and sides, rosewood fingerboard. CareThe nitrocellulose varnish, as on vintage Gibson guitars, plays a major role in the instrument's "breathing" thanks to its porous nature (vibrations are not muffled by the varnish). On the other hand, this varnish is sensitive to contact with the plastics and foams of certain stands (we recommend the Hercules brand), as well as to certain excessively detergent cleaning products.
