A Modern Jumbo Acoustic
A more compact J-185 with all the beauty and style Gibson has to offer. The slightly slimmer body depth delivers an unsurpassed balance of lows, mids, and highs, with equal response to every note on the fretboard. The J-185 EC Modern is perfect for powerful rhythm guitar, studio recording, and live acoustic-electric performances.
