Gibson J160E Original Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson J 160E Original in Vintage Sunburst is one of the most iconic acoustic electric guitars ever made.

Forever linked to The Beatles and their early recordings, this legendary model blends vintage inspiration with modern refinements that make it far more than a faithful reissue.

Unlike the original ladder braced versions, the J 160E Original features a solid Sitka spruce top with traditional scalloped X bracing, delivering a full and balanced acoustic tone when played unplugged. The solid mahogany back and sides add warmth and depth, while the SlimTaper neck profile offers a fast and comfortable playing feel. Hot hide glue construction and a compound dovetail neck joint ensure excellent resonance and tonal transfer throughout the instrument.

Electrically, the P 90DC pickup provides classic P 90 character without unwanted hum, controlled via top mounted master volume and tone knobs with authentic 60s style Top Hat knobs. This makes the J 160E equally at home on stage, in the studio, or on the couch. Finished in Vintage Sunburst and supplied with a Gibson hardshell case, this is a true dual purpose guitar with undeniable history and modern reliability.
