A Limited Edition Model Made in Collaboration With Rosanne Cash

Rosanne Cash is one of the country’s pre-eminent singer-songwriters, as well as the author of a bestselling memoir, “Composed.” She has released 15 albums of extraordinary songs that have earned four GRAMMY® Awards and 12 additional nominations. She is one of only a handful of women in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and is the 2021 recipient of the prestigious Edward MacDowell Medal, awarded to an artist who has made an outstanding contribution to American culture. She is the first woman composer to receive this honor. Her music incorporates elements of folk, pop, Americana, rock, and blues, so she requires a very versatile guitar that can follow her in any direction that her muse takes her.

The new Gibson Custom Shop Rosanne Cash J-185 was made in collaboration with this legendary artist and delivers exceptional versatility. It features a flame maple body that is slightly thinner for superior playing comfort, a thermally-aged Sitka spruce top, and a SlimTaper™ 24.75” mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard that’s outfitted with 20 standard frets and mother-of-pearl parallelogram inlays. The Gibson logo and Crown are also mother-of-pearl, as is the Cash logo on the unique-to-this-model pickguard. An L.R. Baggs™ VTC under saddle pickup and preamp system makes this guitar ready for any stage or studio as soon as you take it out of the included custom Rosanne Cash hardshell case. Only 100 of these beautiful instruments will be made by the expert luthiers and craftspeople of the Gibson Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana, as part of this very special limited run.
