NGD: J-185

Recommended Posts

I won't post too many pics, as I'm sure you all know what a standard Maple J-185 looks like. But I'm happy to finally have one. Been looking for the right one for quite awhile. Also pictured is the L4-A it is replacing. I loved the feel of the L4-A, but the rosewood was just not working for me.

 

Friday, this unassuming Jumbo will assume the title of "Main Gigging Guitar." Wish it luck, as it is a demanding job.

Oddly enough, I think side-by-side, the L4-A's tone is superior. But for my specific needs, it's just too full and bassy.

Congrats on the score - what did it set you back? Now I can start looking for mine :)

 

$1399 including shipping. I thought that was a very good price.

 

After not seeing any on eBay for a long time, there were three on there all in the same week. I missed out on the first two, but my patience paid off when this one came up and was cheaper than the previous ones.
