The J-185 is considered by many to be Gibson's finest acoustic ever. They are similar to the big J-200's but smaller and easier to hold. Maple delivers a crisp bright sound whereas rosewood bodies deliver a soft sweet sound. These things are killer if you can finger-pick and they have more volume than the rosewood body instruments when you use a pick. This is my main axe. She is priced a bit higher than you can find a used oneone elsewhere in all probability. However they don't make them any better, if as good. You'll have to take this one away from me with an offer of $1800.

Packing, shipping and insurance is $40 if you live in the lower 48 States. Additional charges apply if you live outside those states. Purchasers are responsible for all shipping costs, duty fees, customs fees, import fees, etc. We do not ship to Indonesia.

I accept Personal Checks, PayPal, Money Orders, Cashiers Checks and Bank Wire Transfers. Please add 3% if you propose to pay with PayPal and $10 if you pay by Bank Wire Transfer as that's what they charge me to collect it for me. You may be able to pay with an eCheck with PayPal and the fee for that is only $5.00. I am just passing their fees to me on to you. eChecks and Personal Checks must clear before shipping (usually less than 10 business days.)

You have 24 hours to try your new instrument. If you are not satisfied for any reason simply return it in the same condition it was when I sent it to you and I'll refund your purchase price minus the cost of shipping..

Send payment to: Ed Dettenheim, 394 Academy Road, Haynesville, Louisiana 71038. Be sure the guitar you want is still in stock before sending payment as these are 1 of a kind instruments and once they are sold can't be replaced.

Buy it at $1800.00 plus $40.00 for packing, shipping and insurance.
