bobouz Posted May 1, 2014 Posted May 1, 2014 The serial number on my J-185 is two days prior to yours. Some darn good looking wood in the shop at that time! Congrats & enjoy.
jedzep Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Whew...hope it's a great sound box. Those gaudy bridges and Hallmark pickguards make me nuts. To each his own, I guess.
Pittgibson45 Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 That is gorgeous. One day I'm gonna get me one of those babies.

solving Posted May 2, 2014 Author Posted May 2, 2014 When I bought my first Gibson I choosed between a SJ-200 TV and a Doves In Flight (which I bought). I LOVED the Doves but the nut width was becoming an issue when I got my J-45. Thats when I realized It was small and I played the J-45 more than the Doves. I got an offer on the Doves and went to the guitar store. They had two go them on the wall. A sunburst and a Natural. I played them both for an hour. I could actually feel a difference between them. I think the sunburst is a better good looking guitar but the natural "choosed me". I can't express enough what a great guitar the Doves was but the nut width became an issue when I compared with the other ones... Now the quest for a new square shoulder has begun.....
ballcorner Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Lovely instrument. I hope it sounds as good as it looks.
EuroAussie Posted May 2, 2014 Posted May 2, 2014 Looks like you finally solved it, well done ! Out of curiousity, why didnt you opt for the sunburst finish ?
Brytam Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 You can spot a well made instrument...& that it is! Beautiful wood grain. Never seen a bridge like that before. Everything about it is classy! Congrats & enjoy!
Gearhead88 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 That is a fine looking guitar , It must sound real nice .
solving Posted May 3, 2014 Author Posted May 3, 2014 Looks like you finally solved it, well done ! Out of curiousity, why didnt you opt for the sunburst finish ? As much as I wanted the sunburst I had to go with sound before looks....It just didn't do it for me. So I let my ears decide...
