Jalex 23 Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 .
