Overview

Extremely limited run of gorgeous Jumbos with a smooth, fast playing surface and new L.R. Baggs pickup.

The legacy of Gibson' line of celebrated Jumbos is not lost in the J-185 EC Hi-Performance. This eye-catching model builds on the traditional foundation of Gibson' rare J-185 body style. With its slightly smaller body dimensions than the model the sound is everything you expect from a Gibson J185 body: with its highly acclaimed balance of low mids and highs. Along with several modern appointments for increased performance, the limited edition J-185 Hi-Performance features a cutaway design for easier playability and full access to the fingerboard.

This rare limited edition stands out from the crowd with several modern appointments, including a stunning Trans Black finish, allowing the beautiful AAA flame maple back and sides to be displayed. An ebony like dense composite fingerboard and bridge for a fast and smooth playing surface. Plus, for the first time a brand new L.R. Baggs StagePro Anthem pickup, featuring a mic and under saddle pickup. Delivering the natural Gibson sound to the studio or stage.

Limited to only 65 instruments worldwide in a one-time-only run. Each guitar includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity, hardshell case with plush-lined interior, an owner's manual, Gibson's Gold Warranty and Gibson's 24/7/365 Customer Service.

Handcrafted by the acclaimed luthiers of Gibson's acoustic facility in Bozeman, Montana
