Dotneck Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just saw the mahogany J185 on Gibson's web site. Has anybody seen one in the US? I wonder if there are any hanging on a dealer's wall anywhere... There are no 5 star dealers near me so its really hard to shop for Gibson. Last time I talked with Dennis O'Brien he said he wanted to get a 5 star in my part of the US but it seems like he was not able to get that done during his tenure at Gibson.

bobouz Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Interesting guitar, but haven't seen one. Another mahogany small-jumbo Gibson was the WM180 (solid mahogany back & sides, morado fingerboard & bridge). It was only produced for a few years - I believe '99 &'00. Never had the good fortune to play one of those either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbofallenstar Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I played one today at the Vintage Guitar Show in Costa Mesa, CA It was pretty awesome. The neck felt a little slimmer than my J45 but very comfortable and small vintage sized frets. If I had an extra $2K I would've left with it.

modoc_333 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I don't even remember seeing this listed on the special runs lists recently that they send to dealers. Maybe a GC exclusive? Where are you anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phelonious Ponk Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Are you talking about the J-185EC? I see those in mahogany and rosewood. I don't see any straight J-185 in mahogany. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dotneck Posted February 8, 2015 Author Share Posted February 8, 2015 I don't even remember seeing this listed on the special runs lists recently that they send to dealers. Maybe a GC exclusive? Where are you anyway? Don't think is a GC exclusive. Its listed om Gibson's website. That's where I first saw it. I'm in Raleigh NC....we don't have a Gibson dealer near us (other than GC). You might be the closest dealer to us.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
