Condition NotesWorn but not overly abused with the new finish. Headstock suffered some more severe rounding out of the edges at some point.
This J-160E is not exactly original, but it still has all the charm and functionality of the classic it is. In great overall condition, it plays very nicely on a new fingerboard and offers that twangy, fat electric-yet-acoustic tone. Comes in an HSC.
