Phil and Don Everly played matching Gibsons behind their harmonies, and the J-180 is that guitar: a black finish, a double moustache pickguard and graduated star inlays. Gibson brings it back to the core Custom Shop artist line.
A Sitka spruce top with hand-scalloped X-bracing, a SlimTaper mahogany neck on a rosewood board, and a Baggs VTC pickup with soundhole volume and tone. Ebony, in a hardshell case.
