Product Details

The Gibson J-180 is an acoustic guitar that combines a striking jumbo shape with Gibson's signature design.

While boasting a rich resonance thanks to its large body, it features a 24.75-inch scale length.

This particular instrument, manufactured in 1997, has an impressive appearance that comes with age.

The body features a Sitka spruce top, maple sides and back, and a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard.

Furthermore, it is equipped with a FISHMAN Rare Earth Mic Blend Active Soundhole Pickup, making it suitable for use with amplifiers.

When played acoustically, it possesses the fullness characteristic of a jumbo body, while the maple sides and back provide a clear attack.

When strummed, chords spread powerfully, and single notes offer a responsive sound with well-defined contours.

The sustain is rich, and it responds smoothly to variations in picking dynamics.

This model boasts a dignified body shape and distinctive looks, along with a rich, resonant acoustic sound.

While the exterior shows some wear and tear commensurate with its age, this is a guitar that will appeal to those searching for a 1990s J-180, or those who want to play a substantial jumbo-sized guitar.

Don't miss this opportunity to acquire it.
