Gibson J-160E Sunburst – 1967
This Gibson J-160E, made in Kalamazoo, is the same model famously used by John Lennon during the early Beatles era. With its iconic sunburst finish and top-mounted P-90 pickup, this electro-acoustic delivers vintage presence and personality.
Note: While the serial number may suggest an earlier date, features such as the double soundhole ring (introduced in 1963) and original potentiometers dated 1966 point to a likely production year of 1967.
