Gibson J-160E Standard Electro-Acoustic Vintage Sunburst
The Gibson J-160E Standard Acoustic-Electric, first released in 1954, was made famous by artists such as The Beatles. John Lennon used this guitar during the early Beatles tours during those numbers that required an (amplified) acoustic guitar, and also on some of the early Beatles recording sessions where it was used in its native acoustic format.
The J160E's brassy, high-output acoustic/electric sound combined with punchy, warm acoustic tone re-creates the sound that led a musical revolution in the '60s. Build-wise the J160-E features a solid Sitka spruce top, solid Mahogany back and sides, trapezoidal fret board inlays, a single-coil magnetic pickup at the neck, and volume and tone controls. This instrument also includes a Gibson hardshell case, so remember to check out some of those early Beatle albums to hear how good this instrument sounds ...
