Anyone know where I could get a tracing of the outline of a J-185, or if there is, perhaps, some plans somewhere?

I don't know where you can find any John, but had a thought for you. How about phoning or emailing Gibson and seeing if they would mail you a tracing? You never know.

Or zip into the nearest guitar center, see if they have one there. Bring one of your beauties to distract them and trace away :D

Do you have Cad capabilities? I think you could just scale down the J-200 to known dimensions of the J-185 as they are identical shapes, just different sizes (so I'm reading).

Hi John,

I got a tracing of a 50's J-185 from John Hall at Bluescreek a while back. I'm sure he would send one if you email him.

Hi John,

I also got a tracing from John Hall for a J-185 project I am planning in the spring.

Oops... my last post said Bob.. I meant John Hall!

I've done gone crazy already... course it was a short trip.

Crazy is all in your mind, besides we've seen the video.
