Jalex Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) I'm curious how the new 1952 J-185's compare to an authentic 50's model. Edited June 14, 2020 by Jalex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think you would be happy with a reissue of one of these.. they just dont have that feel or tone of the old ones.. I owned many of the 180s and 185s and they just were lacking .
