As part of the Century Collection celebrating 100 years of Gibson flat top acoustics, the J-185 Century 12-Fret offers a fresh take on this respected design. By moving the neck to a 12 fret body joint, the bridge sits closer to the widest part of the lower bout, allowing the soundboard to move more freely for an expressive and richly resonant playing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1o61ang\" data-start=\"696\" data-end=\"745\"\u003ePremium Tonewoods and Vintage Inspired Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"747\" data-end=\"1232\"\u003eA solid Sitka spruce top paired with mahogany back and sides delivers a warm, articulate voice with excellent balance across the frequency range.
