Beautiful guitar with nicely figured Maple back, sides and neck. Very similar to an authentic J-185 body size. Sitka spruce top. Back of peghead is artfully shaded. Multiple 5-ply Tortoise bindings on top and back, with 3-ply Tortoise bindings on side. Multiple bound Ebony fingerboard and Headstock. Pearl parallelogram inlays in fingerboard. This is a fine sounding guitar. We have had a few original J-185's in our hands, and I'll say that THIS guitar beats them!
