GIBSON 1956 SUNBURST J-160E.

 

  • CONDITION: Excellent.
  • BODY: Laminated.
  • NECK:Mahogany.
  • F/BOARD: Rosewood.

    This is the nicest Gibson J-160E I have yet come across. It dates back to 1956, factory order/batch no: V7681-23. This is the Gibson model made famous by the Beatles and in particular John Lennon. Electrically, it is pure Beatles tone. It plays superbly with an action that would put many electric guitars to shame. The neck is arrow straight and the frets are in really good shape. This is a one owner guitar and the person must have really cared for and cherished it, because it is in beautiful condition for a 51 year old instrument. Everything is original and pick-up, electrics, tuners etc all work fine. I think it would be very hard to find a better 1950's J-160E than this one, and at the cost of only a little more than a modern new one. A great investment. Comes with period hard shell case.
