Gibson J 180 Jumbo- Everly Brothers Limited Edition/Mint

Exceptional Condition

• Beautiful black nitrocellulose finish with classic multi-ply binding

• Original rosewood bridge and fingerboard with striking star inlays

• Original gold-lined brown Gibson hard case with vibrant pink interior—also in outstanding condition

• Meticulously maintained and lightly played, showing only the most minimal signs of age for an instrument approaching 35 years old

Upgraded & Stage-Ready
This J-180 features an authorized acoustic-electric pickup system with discreet controls mounted on the top of the guitar. The installation was professionally performed and preserves the guitar’s natural acoustic voice while giving you plug-and-play versatility for live performance or studio work.

A First-Year Rarity
When Gibson launched production of the black Everly Brothers J-180 in Bozeman, the entire 1990 run totaled only 23 instruments, making them some of the scarcest modern-era Gibsons. This particular guitar was the third one completed on September 27, 1990, placing it at the very beginning of the Bozeman era. The following year production increased slightly, to only about 134 guitars—still remarkably limited.

Why This Guitar Stands Out

• Historic Significance: Among the earliest Bozeman-built Gibsons, representing the dawn of the company’s acoustic renaissance.

• Ultra-Low Production: One of just 23 made in 1990, and serial number 3 from that inaugural run.

• Investment Potential: Early Bozeman J-180s are highly collectible and continue to appreciate, especially examples this clean.

Whether you’re a serious collector or a performer seeking a stage-ready vintage Gibson with undeniable character, this J-180 delivers.

Includes:

• Original Gibson hard shell case (pink-plush interior, excellent condition)

• Professionally installed acoustic-electric pickup system

• Nearly 35 years of history and mojo

Serious inquiries only—guitars of this caliber, provenance, and scarcity rarely surface.
