Congrats...they are outstanding guitars.

Played one for years. NOTHING sounds like a J185!

Play and enjoy in good health.

I played a used J-185 at Guitar Center back in the early 2000’s and it was one of the best guitars I ever played. I could not take it home with me that day and always regretted it. I played a 2006 SJ200 last year that had the same impression and I did bring it home.

I still think about that J185. Great guitars.

That’s beautiful. Congratulations!
