Gibson's Jumbo models Gibson's 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 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. 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. Classic Gibson craftsmanship Gibson's reputation as a fine guitar builder dates back to the late 1800s. Handcrafted since day one by some of the most skilled luthiers around, Gibson acoustic guitars have inspired countless players around the world. When you pick up a Gibson acoustic, you know you're getting the finest tonewoods, quality hardware, and incredible attention to detail - these instruments are built to sound great and stand the test of time. After moving from Kalamazoo, MI, to Nashville, TN (where Gibson electric guitars continue to be made), Gibson finally settled their acoustic operation in Bozeman, MT, where they continue making some of the finest guitars on the planet by hand. True Vintage Gibson takes you back to the original! The luthiers of Gibson Acoustic in Montana have created replicas of their top historic models. These guitars have been added to satisfy the demands of the discriminating vintage guitar customer All True Vintage models feature historic orange labels, bone nut and saddle, historically accurate binding over fret ends, Madagascar rosewood components, a premium vintage style case, and select dark amber toner. Quality construction When Gibson brings you a True Vintage instrument, expect the best! The J-185 True Vintage boasts a premium solid Sitka spruce top, quality AAA flame maple back and sides, a maple neck, and a fingerboard and bridge made of Madagascar rosewood. All these elements add up to a guitar that sounds great now, and will only improve over time. Instruments such as the J-185 True Vintage are great investments and reliable musical companions that will inspire you for years to come. Gibson J-185 True Vintage Features:
Gibson: Don't Mess with a Good Thing Gibson guitars have been around for well over a century. 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!
