The Venetian cutaway provides easy access to higher frets, while the factory-installed pickup system ensures excellent amplified tone. With its elegant design, comfortable playability, and versatile tone, the 2005 J-185 EC is well-suited for both fingerstyle and strumming across various musical styles.
