Description

Edit description

The Orville by Gibson J-160E is an iconic acoustic-electric guitar that marries vintage charm with modern playability, making it a remarkable choice for any musician looking to capture classic tones. Originally designed as a stage guitar, this model features a ladder-braced body and a vintage-style adjustable P-90 pickup, allowing it to deliver warm, resonant sounds with minimal feedback during live performances. Its straightforward control setup, with one volume and one tone knob, ensures that you can easily adjust your sound on the fly, without missing a beat.

This guitar's history is steeped in musical legends, famously used by John Lennon on several iconic tracks. Its design is tailored for comfortable playability, thanks to a professional refret that offers smooth action across the fretboard. The original electronics and Kluson tuners ensure that it maintains its authentic, vintage vibe while delivering reliable performance.

Aesthetically, the J-160E shines with its original finish, lovingly buffed to a lustrous sheen, capturing eyes as well as ears. Whether you're recording in the studio or performing on stage, this guitar offers a blend of nostalgia and quality craftsmanship that is hard to match. Experience the sound of a classic and bring a piece of music history into your own collection.

Key Features:

Ladder-braced body for reduced feedback
Vintage-style adjustable P-90 pickup
One volume and one tone control
Original finish and electronics
Professional refret for enhanced playability
Kluson tuners for reliable tuning stability
