First introduced in 1951, the J-185 takes its body outline from Gibson’s 1920s L-5 and sits just under the SJ-200 in size, with the same 24.75\" scale as the J-45 and Hummingbird. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eA solid Sitka spruce top with X bracing sits over a mahogany body, finished in thin satin nitrocellulose lacquer with single-ply cream binding, a multi-ring rosette and a tortoiseshell teardrop pickguard. This one weighs 5.2 lb.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eMoving the neck joint from the 14th fret to the 12th shifts the bridge toward the center of the lower bout, where it drives more of the top. Expect a warm, punchy voice that responds to fingerstyle and a light pick, along with a shorter reach to first position. Its mahogany neck has a SlimTaper profile (.900\" at the 1st fret, 1.00\" at the 9th fret) and joins the body with a compound dovetail set in hot hide glue. A bound rosewood fretboard has mother-of-pearl dot inlays, a 12\" radius and 19 standard frets, with a 1.735\" bone nut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eUp top, a satin black headstock carries a white Gibson script logo decal and Golden Age open-back strap tuners with cream buttons. A closed-slot rectangle rosewood bridge, modeled on early J-45 bridges, holds a bone saddle and TUSQ bridge pins. Whether you’re a fingerstyle player, a singer-songwriter who wants a warm jumbo that sits well under a voice, or a collector following Gibson’s Century Collection, the J-185 Century 12-Fret deserves a close look. (Serial #22646065) \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIt ships in a Century Collection tweed hardshell case.
