1952 Gibson J-185. Not a new version of a vintage classic. In excellent condition with a brand new Gibson case made for a J-185. Nut width 1 11/16". Just set up. A back brace was missing so I had my luthier install a new one. Serial Number 10125, FON 9730 26. I am happy to send additional pictures and answer any questions. I recommend that this deal is done in person rather than through shipping considering its value. The Vingage Guitar Price Guide estimates $20,000 - $25,000. I have this listed in the middle. Thank You.
