Gibson J-160E John Lennon 70th Birthday J160E Guitar (The Beatles)

Description

In 2010, on the 70th Anniversary of John Lennon’s birth, Gibson teamed up with Yoko Ono to create a trio of John Lennon Tribute 160E guitar models, each based on John’s first 1962 J-160E. Production of this 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160E VS was limited to just 500 instruments, and this example remains in mint condition.

Like the originals, this J160e is built with a ladder-braced plywood Sitka top (for feedback reduction) and features a P-90 pickup in the bridge and top-mounted volume and tone controls. The back and sides are mahogany, the bridge is adjustable, and fingerboard is inlaid with pearloid trapezoid markers. The neck has a low/wide carve and a full 1-11/16” nut width. October. 9, 1940 engraved on the 12th fret inlay (Lennon’s Birthday).

The guitar comes with a serial numbered Certificate of Authenticity that’s signed by Gibson’s then-Master builder, Ren Ferguson.

It is in virtually mint condition and is fitted with new D'Addario XS 12-53 acoustic strings.

A true collectors museum piece.

With original hardshell case and all the original documents and certificate which I have laminated to protect it.

Guitar will be packed in a proper Gibson guitar box and made available to your courier at your cost following completed payment. Local pickup available.

Happy to answer questions etc. No trades.
