Jalex Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Came across this on YouTube this morning. Very cool 2 part video. I'd love a 50's J-185. Edited June 14, 2020 by Jalex Quote

Jalex Posted June 14, 2020 Author 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

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 . Quote
