funkymusic Posted December 5, 2014 Share Posted December 5, 2014 EX POST Acoustic Forum! I cannot find this exact guitar anywhere, and the serial number project says this is production number 1. This has piqued my interest! These guitars are easy to find with snowflake inlays and this and that, but I cannot find an exact same model. Here are some pics, serial number is 92062001 I can take more epics as needed, but the guitar doesn't have a custom shop label anywhere. Its weird that I can't find anything exactly like it! I very much look forward to hearing what you fine people have to say! I should say this is the information I got from http://www.guitardat...org/gibson.aspx Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Bozeman Plant , MA, USA July 25th, 1992 Production Number: 1 For some reason the other pictures won't attach here as they would earlier.

funkymusic Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Just threw it on eBay and asked some experts on there to help too. Check the listing for better pictures! http://www.ebay.com/itm/1992-Gibson-J-185-Koa-Serial-92062001-Very-Rare-Configuration-/321608674206?ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrorod Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I think that this is a hard sell (for that money) unless you have some documentation from Gibson...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimt Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 I think that this is a hard sell (for that money) unless you have some documentation from Gibson...? 1991 and 1992 Gibson did alot of different styles not that were not in the standard line up.. I went through my fair share of the 91 and 92 acoustics that were way different than the catalog guitars. I agree that the price is kind of high.. one its a j185.. but not ornate enough ..

funkymusic Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 Oh the price is just that high so nobody will buy it until I know what it is! I'm also accepting offers but I really just linked it for the pictures, I wasn't tryjng to promo it! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 That thing is beautiful. I have no idea how many were made, but if you're going to sell it, be patient and you should get a very good price eventually. Hopefully somebody at Gibson will see this thread if we keep bumping it, and you'll get more info. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymusic Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 Yeah it is gorgeous. It's been played a lot and it definitely has a sound that's aged beyond its years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its got TONS of watchers on eBay, so I can imagine everyone wants to know what the heck this thing will sell for. Weird to me that nobody has seen one for sure...
