Pure Vibes With the Gibson J-160E. Check out our exclusive demo of this '60s icon!.

Seen in the hands of some of the biggest rock stars ever, the original Gibson J-160E from the ’50s and ’60s combined classic cool with versatile tone to secure its place in guitar history.

Released along with other models from the Original collection from Gibson Acoustic, the J-160E Original forges its own stylish path thanks to its iconic P-90 DC fretboard-mounted pickup and top-mounted volume and tone controls. The mahogany neck, back, and sides offer a robust midrange, while the guitar’s solid Sitka spruce top gives it a crisp, clean edge. Outfitted in a timeless Vintage Sunburst finish, the J-160E Original will look and sound like an old-school instrument in any venue.

Hear the lively sound of the J-160E Original in our exclusive demo!
