Condition Notes	This vintage Gibson guitar has aged beautifully and is in good overall condition. The glossy finish shows natural checking and some shallow dents, with heavier wear on the top of the upper bout where flakes have exposed the wood, primarily around the pickguard, sound hole, and treble-side extension. The headstock has light wear, while the metal hardware shows mild age-related tarnishing. A character-filled vintage Gibson with plenty of natural wear and patina.

Description

This 1955 Gibson J-160E in Sunburst is a vintage Gibson with a warm, woody voice and a feel that immediately takes you back to another era. The neck has a comfortable, broken-in feel, while the guitar delivers the dry, punchy acoustic response and unmistakable character that make these J-160Es so desirable. Plugged in, it has that raw, focused vintage Gibson sound with plenty of personality, an instrument that feels alive in your hands and invites you to keep playing. The naturally aged finish and vintage appointments add even more character and charm. For a full list of repairs, please refer to the Specs tab.
