Guitar Gallery is a proud reseller of vintage guitars in South Africa. We have this beautiful pre-owned Gibson J-160E in stock.
The Gibson J-160E was famously used by John Lennon and George Harrison in the early Beatles years. By 1966, Gibson had slightly refined the electronics and neck shape, but the model still retained its unique identity: a full-sized acoustic with an electric-style pickup and controls.
The image below is not the actual image of the guitar that we have in stock but we can supply images and videos on request.
