Default SOLD Gibson J-185 EC

SOLD
Up for sale or trade is my 2008 Gibson J-185 EC. This guitar has a beautiful vintage sunburst finish over a AA Sitka spruce top and AA Eastern curly maple.
I play quite a bit, so the condition is what you would expect from a well-taken-care-of gigging acoustic. There are no dings or dents but there are some scratches and buckle rash. Fret wear is minimal and the OHSC is in excellent condition. The guitar is always in its humidified case when not in use.
This Gibson comes with the Fishman Aura Pro system, which allows you to blend the amplified sound between an under-sadddle pick-up and an acoustic imaging program that has been specifically set up for this guitar. It's a pretty neat set up, and I haven't had any issues with feedback on stage. The guitar sounds amazing plugged in or unplugged and really cuts through the mix well.

I'm looking for an even trade and would prefer something in the Taylor 600 series, 614ce, 615ce, 616ce, GS6e, GA6e, or DN6e. I'm really only interested in models with the NT neck and ES. I'd also be interested in rosewood models or newer 414ce/416ce models.


Here's a Video I put together to give you an idea of the sound.

There's some pictures below.

PMs have been responded to. I'm still looking for a sale or a 600 series trade, but I do have one interesting trade offer.

Bump. This guitar is great at punching through the mix onstage. I can hear it over bass and drums even when I'm not plugged in!

How do you like your Epi Masterbilt? I have been thinking about getting an AJ in rosewood but haven't been able to find one to test out.

Bump. I've updated my description to clarify some things and I have dropped the sale price. I'm going to try to post a video tonight or tomorrow.

I added a link to a video so you can get an idea of what the guitar sounds like.

Bump. I'm still looking to trade my Gibson for a GA or GS style Taylor. I've had a couple of offers but nothing that has been exactly what I wanted, so let me know if you have something.
