As the pickguard covered most of the top of the guitar, it limited the vibration of the top, thus limiting the sound of the guitar. The guitar was unusual in that it featured star-shaped inlays on the rosewood fretboard, and it had a large double tortoise grain pickguard, which covered most of the top of the body. This flat top guitar featured a thin J-185-style body and an adjustable bridge. In 1962, Gibson collaborated with The Everly Brothers to produce the Everly Brothers Flattop. Throughout the 1950s, they used Gibson J-200 guitars, some customized with dual pickguards. The Everly Brothers recorded many hit songs during the 1950s and the 1960s, such as "Wake Up Little Susie", "Let It Be Me", "Cathy's Clown", "All I Have to Do is Dream", and "Bye Bye Love". Originally designed to fulfill the demanding rhythm guitar needs of the Everly Brothers, the J-180 has been described as "a guitar of stars (inlay that is) for stars." In real super conditions, no breakage no repair, low action, very resonant, incredible fast end easy neck.
