Description

This 2008 Gibson J-185 in sunburst has seen some miles and wears the evidence proudly—dings, pick marks, and the kind of finish wear that only comes from years of actual use, not “relicing.” The saddle’s low and the guitar could use a neck set, but the action is currently right in the sweet spot and is playing very nicely. It’s got that unmistakable J-185 thump—full, balanced, and wide open. Maple back and sides, spruce top, and the original tuners still holding firm, even if they’ve seen better polish. Not a museum piece, but definitely a guitar with a story and many more ahead.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
