First purchased with Brian Epstein's help in 1962, John Lennon's J-160E can be heard on classic Beatles recordings such as A Hard Day's Night, With The Beatles, and Please Please Me. The luthiers at Gibson's Montana Division have recreated the classic look and sound in this pre-owned limited edition model. The "E" in the model name stands for electric, as this J-160 features an authentic P-90 pickup mounted just above the soundhole. A laminated Sitka Spruce top is braced with historic-style ladder bracing and mated to Mahogany back and sides. The 20-fret Rosewood fingerboard is inlaid with classic Mother-Of-Pearl Trapezoids. The classic Vintage Sunburst finish adds a killer vintage vibe that evokes some of the classic images of the Beatles and John Lennon. This instrument, number 123 of only 250 made, is in overall very good condition with some surface swirling around the body and light marks on the back.
