Beautiful first year of the Gibson J-160E. In awesome condition and is the ONLY year with a one piece spruce top. Bridge seems to have been expertly changed to late 50s version with ceramic saddle. Solid wood sides and back. Comes with old hardshell case. Serial number X8560 14 denotes 1954. No issues and everything works!

Overview

The first year of the Gibson J-160E electrified round shoulder dreadnought is unique from following years in that it uses a solid spruce top and has only 19 frets on the neck as opposed to 20 on all later models. Like the Epiphone Casino, this guitar's status has been greatly influenced by its use by the Beatles.

Notable Players: John Lennon, George Harrison, Barry Gibb
