Gibson J-180 Jumbo Line Acoustics

January 28, 1999

The J-180 Jumbo Line Models are based on an original 1950s body design first described by Gibson as "a similar body shape to the somewhat larger J-200" and "the choice of artists who prefer a more compact instrument." This design first appeared as the Gibson J-185, and later found its greatest fame in the highly distinctive J-180 model.

Today, the J-180 Jumbo Line Models represent the world's finest stage and studio acoustics. These include Gibson's new J-180 EC and J-185 EC cutaways, which are absolute in their reign as the finest sounding, highest quality acoustic-electrics ever made.

As with all Gibson acoustics, these guitars are Master Built with the greatest care, skill, and time-tested building techniques.
