The legendary harmonies that defined early rock and roll are captured in Gibson's return of the Everly Brothers J-180 to their core Custom Shop Artist model lineup. Phil and Don Everly, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, dominated the music world during the 1950s and early 1960s with their seamless vocal blend, supported by the driving rhythm of their matching Gibson acoustic guitars.
This tribute instrument honours their rich musical legacy with meticulous attention to the decorative details that make Gibson Everly Brothers models instantly recognisable. The J-180 features a maple body paired with a Sitka spruce top, finished in striking Ebony gloss nitrocellulose lacquer that catches the light beautifully on stage.
Distinctive appointments include the double tortoise moustache pickguards developed in cooperation with the Everly Brothers themselves, plus elegant mother of pearl star inlays adorning both the headstock and neck. Quality hardware rounds out the package with a bone nut and saddle, TUSQ® bridge pins, and reliable Grover® Rotomatic® tuners fitted with classic Keystone buttons.
Stage and studio performance is covered by the included L.R. Baggs™ VTC under-saddle pickup and preamp system, ensuring you're ready to perform straight from the included hard-shell case. This is more than just an instrument — it's a piece of rock and roll history.
