[SN 844143] USED Gibson / J-160E Sunburst [Vintage/1966] Gibson Electro-Acoustic Acoustic Guitar [08]
[SN 844143] USED Gibson / J-160E Sunburst [Vintage/1966] Gibson Electro-Acoustic Acoustic Guitar [08]
A vintage J-160E from 1966 has just arrived!
The J-160E was introduced in 1954. At that time, it featured a solid top and 19 frets, but starting in 1955, it switched to a laminated top and 20 frets.
This particular instrument dates from the period around 1965, when Gibson guitars underwent a major specification change—the so-called "14-degree headstock angle, narrow neck" era.
Made at the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, USA
It features a round-shouldered body with a laminated spruce top and mahogany sides/back, equipped with a P-90 pickup, and the top knob controls both volume and tone.
The rosewood upper belly bridge is equipped with an adjustable saddle.
Both the top and back feature ladder bracing.
The mahogany neck, with a Gibson scale length and a nut width of approximately 39.5 mm, features a rosewood fingerboard and binding.
* The tuners have been replaced with two-knob Kluson-type tuners engraved with "GIBSON DELUXE."
* The frets have been replaced.
* A strap pin has been added to the neck heel.
Serviced at a renowned guitar workshop.
Neck angle adjustment (using an iron and shims), fret leveling, nut replacement, bridge detachment repair, top bracing re-gluing, pickguard lifting repair, and string grounding work completed on the underside of the bridge.
The truss rod still has plenty of adjustment range, and there is ample fret life remaining.
Weather checking is visible throughout the body, neck, and headstock, giving it a vintage presence.
There are numerous signs of aging, including paint changes, dents with paint chipping, and various scratches.
There are gouges and paint chips around the top rosette (especially on the pickguard side) and next to the fingerboard end (on the 6th string side).
Although it shows significant signs of use and aging, playability is not an issue.
This is a great guitar for band ensembles! Its gritty strumming sound is particularly appealing.
Although the design intentionally suppresses natural resonance through the use of a laminated top and ladder bracing, the power emanating from its dry sound is outstanding!
Condition Grade: B: Shows significant wear and signs of use, but is perfectly functional for normal use
Serial: 844143
Accessories: Non-original Guild hard case
