1962 GibsonJ-160E – Sunburst
If you’re a Beatles fan, you’ll certainly recognize this 1962 Gibson J-160E in Sunburst. This guitar and its original hardshell case are the exact same year and specs as John and George’s famed matching pair. This guitar is a beautiful player, essentially an electric guitar that looks like and also plays like an acoustic if you leave it unplugged! This pickup is a single P-90 with no cover, accompanied by a volume and tone controls. This was also the first Gibson Flattop model to feature an adjustable bridge!
