Exceptional 1962 Gibson J-160E acoustic electric guitar in its original tobacco sunburst. Single line Kluson tuners, adjustable bridge, desirable 1 11/16 nut width.

Overall in excellent plus condition less some finish checking and some bridge lift. Included is the original alligator soft-shell case which is one of the cleanest we’ve seen. Own a piece of history and the same year as Johns 160-E!
