Gibson J-165 EC (2011)

A Gibson J-165 EC has the same shape and the same tonal characteristics as Gibson Jumbos, but with smaller dimensions. A beautifully voluminous sound, but far more comfortable to play and extremely suitable for the stage. The same goal is pursued with this acoustic by equipping it with a Fishman Aura pickup that uses the popular "Aura Acoustic Imaging Technology". This pickup system reproduces the natural sound of the J-165 EC as it is recorded in a professional studio and on stage, eliminating the complicated adjustments of expensive microphones. In addition its preamplifier is conveniently equipped with a tuner. The Gibson J-165 EC's top is made of solid AA-grade Sitka spruce while the back and sides are made of solid AAA maple, giving it a deep tone with all the brilliance and projection of the larger Jumbos. The guitar's beautiful Sunburst look is rounded off by gold-colored Grover Mini Rotomatic tuners, the legendary Crown logo on the headstock, abalone inlays on the rosette and a deep dark rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges and parallelogram inlays. The playability is extremely pleasant, also thanks to the 12'' fingerboard radius and a very comfortable medium neck profile. All in all a very well thought-out and soundmighty acoustic that we can offer you at a top price. The guitar has been played often and with pleasure over the years, which can be seen not only in the one or other minor sign of use, but also in the fact that it is wonderfully swung in and extremely resonant. Otherwise it is including the frets in top condition.
