This Gibson J-185 EC Hi-performance acoustic guitar is a very robust instrument with a bright, punchy tone and a ton of headroom, thanks to its Sitka spruce top. Equally subtle and in-your-face, this acoustic guitar's high velocity of sound and strong fundamental tone ensure a broad dynamic response. Pick quietly or strum forcefully - this J-185 can take whatever you throw at it. Also, the addition of flame maple back and sides lends an excellent separation to this J-185's tone, ensuring that each note of a chord rings separately rather than sounding muddy or clustered.

First produced in 1951, the Gibson J-185 acoustic guitar was intended as a slightly more compact version of the company's Super Jumbo instruments. Retaining all of the larger guitars' power and projection, the J-185 also garnered a reputation for its clear, articulate tone and broad dynamic range. Originally discontinued in 1958, the original run of Gibson J-185s constitutes some of the rarest Gibson acoustic guitars ever produced.

Gibson Acoustic's J-185 EC Hi-performance is loaded with the LR Baggs Anthem Pro, a feedback-busting, natural-sounding pickup system. There's no modeling and no illusions going on here. The Anthem Pro system sounds clean, clear, and full of dynamics. While some guitar mics and pickups are prone to feedback or give you a boxy sound when used alone, the LR Baggs Anthem is like having your acoustic sound just turned up, so it's full of detail, warmth, and personality. Take it from the Sweetwater crew - the Gibson Acoustic J-185 EC Hi-performance acoustic electric has the plugged-in tone you've been looking for.
