Gibson J 160 E 1954 Stripped Natural

1954 GIBSON -160 E. STRIPPED TO LOOK LIKE JOHN LENNON’S J-160E.  THESE ITEMS ARE ORIGINAL –IE: KNOBS, P-90 PICKUP, BODY, NECK, HEADSTOCK ETC. THE POTENTIOMETERS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND I’M NOT SURE(PLEASE LOOK AT THE PHOTO’S CAREFULLY) BUT I THINK THE TURNERS ARE NOT ORIGINAL IT ALSO HAD THE DIAL UP BRIDGE REPLACED WITH A LATE FIFTIES BRIDGE WITH THE CERAMIC BRIDGE IN IT. . IT ALSO APPEARS THAT SOMEONE WHO PREVIOUSLY OWNED IT PUT “EVERLY BROTHERS” PICKGUARDS ON IT AND SPAY PAINTED IT BLACK- GO FIGURE-THAT’S WHY YOU CAN SEE TINY HOLES FILLED IN AROUND THE FACE OF THE GUITAR. IT HAS BEEN STRIPPED (IT HAS A VERY LIGHT SATIN FINISH ON IT SO DIRT FROM HANDS AND SWEAT DON’T DIRTY IT )  IT HAS THE LOOK OF A “JOHN LENNON MODEL” PLAYS GREAT AND HAS THAT GREAT BEATLE SOUND THAT YOU ONLY GET ON THE EARLY GIBSON J-160E’S. COMES WITH A NEW CASE AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS. THE TONE ON THESE WITH THE ORIGINAL FINISH REMOVED IS FANTASTIC! Last 3 pics show The serial number, the first number is an X which denotes that it is a 54. This is for sure a 1954 J160 e. Any other questions please ask.
