Great Tone as BOTH Acoustic and Electric! The Gibson J-185 EC Rosewood Modern Classic is one of the best-sounding acoustic-electrics out there. A modern take on a classic design, The Gibson J-185 EC Rosewood features Mother-of-Pearl split-block inlays and active electronics with rim control EQ and a built-in tuner. Additional features include a jumbo cutaway style body, a glossy solid spruce top, rosewood back and sides, ebony fretboard and bridge, and gold hardware. A truly beautiful, well made American instrument - that's the Gibson J-185 EC Rosewood Modern Classic. Gibson SJ-200 EC Modern Classic at a Glance: Modern Classics, improved Quality construction Jumbo cutaway style Modern Classics, improved Delivering quality craftsmanship and classic style, Gibson guitars will always be of the best in the world. Yet, the same technological developments that constantly change and revolutionize the audio industry are also impacting the needs and wishes of modern musicians: Gibson knows this. With the release of the Modern Classic line, Gibson gives a nod to the modern guitarist - the guitarist who needs onboard electronics, cutaways to reach the uppermost frets, modified neck profiles, and setups that allow playability - no matter the style of playing. With these features in mind, Gibson redesigned the entire Modern Classic line to give us premium, handcrafted guitars that play easier, intonate better, sound great plugged in, and stay in tune even better than before. These guitars feature the latest design advancements, including radiused, or rolled fingerboard edges, giving you a fast, comfortable feel. And, with string height lower at the nut, these guitars will also play even easier and intonate better all the way up the neck. Final Gibson touches, including new soundhole labels, sturdy Grover tuners, and premium Fishman pickups, make it easy for you to take your favorite traditional-style Gibson acoustic onto the modern stage with confidence! Quality construction All Modern Classic guitars are handcrafted by Gibson in Bozeman, MT, from premium tonewoods and components. The J-185 EC Modern Classic features a premium Sitka spruce top and Indian rosewood back and sides. Its mahogany V-profiled neck is complemented by split-block mother of pearl inlays that are set in an ebony fingerboard. Jumbo cutaway style Gibson's Super Jumbo guitars were originally built to cut through the loudest acoustic ensembles, allowing them to compete with the mandolins and banjos that were prevalent in "pre-amplified" times. It's still a thrill to hear the well-balanced sound of a Super Jumbo ring out loud and clear, the maple sides and spruce top pumping out a throaty tone that's equally great for hi-octane strumming and delicate fingerpicking. The cutaway on this Modern Classic is designed to deliver that Super Jumbo Sound, while allowing much easier access to the higher frets. Everyone from rockers to country artists to blues greats choose these guitars for their incredible sound, projection, build quality, and, let's face it, stunning looks.

When guitarists are looking for an outstanding combination of superb tone and playability along with great looks and gorgeous finishes, the choice for most of those 100 plus years has been Gibson. From their amazing collection of fine acoustics to the electric guitars that literally rewrote music history, Gibson guitars have been on almost every chart-topping album from artists like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Cream and Led Zeppelin. These "first call" instruments also cross an enormous array of diverse styles, from folk and country to blues and hard rock. With that resume, it's not surprising that so many of Gibson's best-selling instruments have changed little over the decades. Because there's just no sense in messing with a good thing!
