The Gibson Custom Shop Rosanne Cash J-185 acoustic-electric guitar offers exceptional versatility for the serious artist. Made in collaboration with the legendary singer-songwriter Rosanne Cash, this limited-edition signature model has a flame maple body and thermally-aged Sitka spruce top that provide a balanced tone ideal for the nuances of folk, pop, rock and Americana music. The slim mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard feel familiar and fast under your fingers, allowing melodies and chords to flow freely as your muse takes you. With its elegant mother-of-pearl appointments, including a pickguard designed by Rosanne and inspired by her father's iconic J-200, this guitar is as stunning to look at as it is to play.

Thinner Body Provides Playing Comfort

The Gibson Rosanne Cash J-185's thinner flame maple body reduces weight for superior playing comfort during long sets and recording sessions. Despite its lighter build, the J-185 projects with full, resonate tone thanks to its premium tonewood construction and thoughtful bracing.

Versatile Tone for the Versatile Artist

The J-185's all-solid-wood construction gives you a rich, balanced acoustic tone with chimey highs, warm mids and tight lows that suits any musical style. Play fingerstyle, strum bold chords or pick single notes—this guitar responds beautifully. The L.R. Baggs VTC undersaddle pickup and preamp provide a natural acoustic sound for any gig or recording situation. Shape your tone further with the preamp's rotary controls for volume, bass and treble. However you wish to express yourself, the J-185 keeps up.

Exclusive Appointments for an Artist's Touch

Several custom touches on the J-185 reflect Rosanne's style. The mother-of-pearl pickguard design was inspired by her father Johnny Cash's iconic J-200. Rosanne's signature also adorns the headstock. Most notably, the guitar's elegant tobacco sunburst finish was personally chosen by Rosanne to highlight the beautiful flame maple. These exclusive appointments give the J-185 a stylish look and historic pedigree worthy of its namesake artist.
