Gibson / 1995 J-160E
—The Gibson J-160E, recreating the legendary ladder-bracing era beloved by John Lennon
The iconic J-160E model defined the sound of The Beatles.
This highly sought-after instrument was meticulously reissued in 1995 at the Gibson Montana factory according to exacting specifications.
It Recruit a 16-inch round-shouldered body
—identical to the traditional J-45—Recruit a laminated spruce top and ladder bracing, just like the original. By moderately
dampening the acoustic resonance, it faithfully reproduces the specifications of “that era,” which dramatically reduce feedback when amplified.
P-90 Pickup & Controls
: A P-90 pickup with a magnetic stack mounted at the end of the fingerboard, along with volume and tone knobs positioned on the top. The moment you plug it into an amp
, that unique “Electric Acoustic sound”—crisp, yet somehow gritty—from the early Beatles era comes back to life.
Nearly 30 years have passed since production began, and the nitrocellulose lacquer has aged beautifully, giving the guitar a sophisticated, mature look. The moderately tight, dry tone delivers exceptional clarity the moment you strum the strings.
