The Gibson J-160E occupies a unique place in the company's acoustic lineup, blending traditional flat-top construction with an electric pickup design that gives it a voice unlike most acoustics of its day. This 1968 example retains its Sunburst finish and has benefited from a refret, bridge reglue, and replacement nut, ensuring it is ready for continued use. Cosmetic wear includes finish checking throughout the body along with several dings on the top. While the J-160E will always be remembered for its appearance in the hands of some of the most recognizable songwriters of the '60s, it has a character all its own, offering a dry, woody acoustic response paired with the distinctive sound of its original magnetic pickup. This guitar remains a solid vintage example with the kind of honest wear and maintenance expected from an instrument that has spent years being played. Includes vintage import hard shell case.
