Gilliangirl Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Really nice! Great pic too - wish I could do my guitars justice like that. Me too. I just don't have an eye for photography. But I got a guitar that looks as nice as jedwards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Beautiful. Lovely graining on the top with a spot-on bookmatch. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hogeye Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Wow!!! That is a beauty. Could you give us a little more info on it. It appears to be a red spruce top. Very exciting. I can't tell but it looks like the body may be mahogany? Is this guitar a Custom of some sort? What year? A while back Gibson took the Maltese crosses off the bridge. It seems they hired a GM who thought they were offensive. The GM didn't last long and I sure hope they put them back on. Your guitar is just what they should look like. I bet the sound is amazing. Great photo. Great guitar. Congrats all around.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-1854Me Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 That looks like it might be a red spruce top (and good photo, btw!) -- do you know if it is? Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedward Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 It's a TV with red spruce / maple from Fullers. Serial number puts it at late '09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedward Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Fred, from searching forum for 185 info, I think you saw this guitar in Dallas last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-1854Me Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Fred, from searching forum for 185 info, I think you saw this guitar in Dallas last year. Yes, I did. What threw me off was your comment of having had it for nine months. I saw that guitar in May: ... and I didn't remember anyone having bought it at the show.

jgwoods Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I think I prefer the blondes such as yours, but a J-185 is a J-185 and is nice to have around no matter what color it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the Madagascar rosewood fingerboard (and a nice one too!) and bridge on that one. Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambler Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Amazing milky white top. Great looker and a comfy grip. Would love to fall in love with one but I've hand one in my hands that killed me. Sweet but no snap, something like that. Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
