| Describe your item's overall condition in detail. | We here at Lynchburg Music Center have an incredible Original 1954 Gibson J-160E. It has a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and 19 frets. The ones made after this year changed to have a laminated top with 20 frets. This first year example delivers fuzzy highs, tight lows, and a nudged mid range that many Gibson Acoustic Guitars are known for. This is a ladder-braced guitar but it's got volume and tonal attitude to spare. The stock P90 flaunts a lively wooden tone that will be very familiar to Beatles fans. The guitar has been serviced in our professional shop. The neck has been reset and two small cracks on each side of the fretboard have been repaired (as pictured). All the electronics are original and work great. We do not have the original case but we will ship it with a hard shell case and professionally package it. Please feel free to call us at 434-237-0073 if you have any questions or if you would like more detailed pictures. |
