Gibson J-160E

Description: Excellent Condition 1973 GIBSON J-160E NEAR MINT The Gibson J-160E is probably the most recognizable acoustic-electric guitar in history since John Lennon adopted it as his signature instrument in the early 1960s. This 1973 J-160E Custom is one of the most famous configurations, with a square-shouldered dreadnought-style body and a single external pickup. And of course it has the huge sound for which vintage Gibsons have been famous for decades, in this case amplified to add even more impact to any As I recall, my husband and I bought this guitar in early1973, in San Diego, when the cherry sunburst finish may still have been considered a “special order” or “custom” finish, but I guess the “Custom” designation on the label could be due to some other variation in the specs of the time. I always wanted to play and never really did but lightly. In looking at its condition, I did struggle to find blemishes, but in just the right light and from just the right angle, you can see a couple, one just above the pick guard, and then down about 8 o’clock on the top. Always in the original case unless a friend stopped by and played. ORIGINAL OWNER, Cherry Sunburst finish. This vintage J-160E is all original in excellent condition. Gibson P90 pick-up, spectacularly figurative Mahogany back and sides, Mahogany neck, Rosewood fretboard, Mother-of-pearl trapezoid Inlays, Spruce top, Rosewood bridge. Original Vintage 1973 Gibson Flying V Tuners Tuning Gear Pegs Set Rare Patented (selling for up to $595 online). Excellent frets and low action. SUPER Smooth playing. Original Hardshell Case, Code AC611, minimal damage but the three hinges on the back of the case need repair. Impressed in headstock “107831” and “Made in U.S.A.” Union Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I have tried to be perfectly clear and accurate in describing this vintage guitar. Please check out the photos and ask any questions you might have! $217 to ship.
