This is a super-rare Custom-built model (potentially the only one as having searched for hours, we can’t find any mention of another one anywhere on the internet!). It appears to be similar to the latest 1952 reissue J-185 that retails at £5k, but with an even higher spec (upgraded woods, Ebony fingerboard\/bridge as opposed to Rosewood, and fancier Abalone inlays as opposed to Mother of Pearl).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is in exceptional condition with no notable blemishes and just some slight discolouration to the frets (if being very picky). Certainly a guitar that will appeal to both collectors and players.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe J-185 was designed to be slightly smaller and more comfortable\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ethan the SJ-200 whilst retaining a lot of the legendary styling tips from its bigger relative. The highlight is certainly the Flame Maple back and sides which are absolutely outstanding on this guitar - and twinned with the Sitka Spice top provide a solid tonal platform, singing loud and clear. It has a comfortable (moderately slim profile) neck which is perfect for both chords and fingerstyle playing, split inlays, Custom shop headstock decal and gold vintage-style tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt comes complete with its original Gibson hardshell case (lock deactivated) and the paperwork pictured (including its original sales receipt).
