It differs from most acoustics in being constructed mainly from plywood (great for combatting feedback), and with the utilisation of ladder bracing rather than the normal X-bracing that Gibson utilised. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:0.9375em;line-height:1.4;color:rgb(96,95,95);font-family:'museo-sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eThe attractive slope shoulder dreadnought design found favour with many musicians who needed an acoustic for live use, perhaps most notably with John Lennon who famously used a J160E for both live and studio work. Other famous users include George Harrison, Barry Gibb, Steve Marriott, Elvis Costello, Aimee Mann, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:0.9375em;line-height:1.4;color:rgb(96,95,95);font-family:'museo-sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eThese are interesting sounding guitars, unplugged the thick plywood construction lends itself to a much more middle-y and brighter sound than you might otherwise expect from a dreadnought Gibson of the era, but when plugged into a nice valve amp the P90 pickup has wonderfully warm and rounded tone. You can even crank the gain up and get some killer edge of break-up acoustic tones…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:0.9375em;line-height:1.4;color:rgb(96,95,95);font-family:'museo-sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003ePots are all correct, and the small to medium C neck is a real joy to play!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:0.9375em;line-height:1.4;color:rgb(96,95,95);font-family:'museo-sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eThis particular example is in good used condition, with a plethora of scuffs, scratches and dings giving it a lovely worn look. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:0.9375em;line-height:1.4;color:rgb(96,95,95);font-family:'museo-sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eThe original hard shell case is also in good condition, with the vibrant orange lining complimenting the guitar rather nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size:16px;margin-bottom:0.9375em;line-height:1.4;color:rgb(96,95,95);font-family:'museo-sans', 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;\"\u003eAll in this is a killer playing and sounding guitar, that is begging to be taken out to gigs (once we’re allowed…) and played, whoever buys this will not be disappointed…\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52481810202963,"sku":"1967J160E","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0917\/7258\/4275\/files\/1967-gibson-j160e-6.jpg?v=1764243039","url":"https:\/\/www.atbguitars.com\/products\/1967-gibson-j160e-ohsc","provider":"ATB Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
