Epiphone John Lennon EJ-160E (Vintage Cherry Sunburst)

From Our Research Team:

John Lennon Acoustic/Electric Guitar

The sound of this unassuming-looking instrument inspired legions of people to pick up an acoustic guitar. Capable of natural tones as well as some electric-driven jabs, this EJ-160 offers rich, welcoming, instantly-familiar sounds.

Patterned after the Gibson J-160E acoustic-electrics that were perennial Beatles workhorses, the signature model EJ-160E features an advanced dreadnought, sloped-shoulder body shape, solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a chunky solid mahogany neck and solid rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The impeccable fretboard is adorned with handsome trapezoid inlays that are common on many Gibsons and Epiphones. The EJ-160E's neck has the fat, rounded feel of many late-Fifties era Gibson electrics. A magnetic pickup is seated discreetly between the end of the guitar's fretboard and the sound hole, while volume and tone controls are located on the guitar's lower bout, as they would be on a standard electric guitar.

Epiphone EJ-160 Acoustic/Electric Guitar Features:
  • Body Type: Dreadnought
  • Finish: Natural Gloss
  • Top Wood: Solid Spruce
  • Back Wood: Mahogany
  • Side Wood: Mahogany
  • Neck Wood: Mahogany
  • Fingerboard: Rosewood
  • Scale Length: 25-1/2"
  • No. of Frets: 20
  • Tuning Machines: Vintage tuners
  • Bridge: Reverse belly

The Epiphone EJ-160 Acoustic/Electric Guitar is totally fab!

Everything was exactly as promised. I was impressed with the phone call I received from your guy when I had just placed the order. He was very thorough and professional in every way. I love my new digital piano. Your wide selection and excellent service as well as your "3 Payment Plan" and the 2 year warranty sealed the deal for me on this purchase. No one else could come close.

Awesome Guitar after some minor adjustments

Great guitar. The only issue it had was the action was a little high for my playing style. A few turns with an allen wrench and viola! It's now a very easy guitar to play. I would say the fingering no... read more [+]w is as easy as playing an electric guitar. The overall construction, fit finish book matching are all awesome. I can't believe that I got this guitar for $344 just because there is a dent on the back of the headstock where it was stamped "used". I play classic rock and this guitar is perfect for that. It sounds awesome either plugged or unplugged. I play a lot of Beatles tunes so this will be my choice when I play those. But this guitar is suitable to play any style of music on, it's really a superior instrument. close [-]

Great sounding guitar with all the quality makings of a Gibson product. Quality and performance by far compares with more expensive guitars.
