Gibson J-160E Original Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson J-160E Original is one of those rare guitars that carries true historical weight while still delivering modern performance. Famously associated with The Beatles and seen on early landmark recordings and television appearances, the J-160E blends acoustic warmth with unmistakable electric character thanks to its onboard P-90 design. This modern Original version stays faithful to the vintage spirit but upgrades the construction with a solid Sitka spruce top and scalloped X-bracing, giving players a fuller, more resonant unplugged tone while preserving the punchy electrified voice that made the model iconic. It’s a dual-purpose instrument built for players who want classic looks, inspiring feel, and the flexibility to move effortlessly between acoustic and amplified settings.
