Default Gibson Custom Shop Historic J-185 1952 - SOLD

I am the original owner. Bought it because I wanted to try a Maple guitar. It sounds great. Still has that Gibson thump, but with more brightness on the top end. Selling because I have an itch for something with a lit more vintage vibe.
Looking at an authentic aged, Rich Robinson, or a different Gibson Historic J-45 or Hummingbird. It is in Mint condition and has an LR Baggs anthem SL pickup system installed.

Asking SOLD plus shipping. I think this is a really fair price so I'm pretty firm.

BACK TO PAGE 1. Really nice smaller Gibson Maple Jumbo. For those that are curious the neck is typical 1.72 nut width for Gibson. The neck profile is fairly flat...I would compare it to close to a Martin Standard series neck profile. Maybe slightly more rounded but not much

Really amazing guitar. Gotten a few interesting trade offers, but I'm preferring a sale. Bumping it up one more time.

As someone who just bought a J185 original this seems like a very nice deal. I know my J185 is really fun to play and inspires me to play more. Also it’s perfectly comfortable even with my bad shoulders. GLWS
