Epiphone EJ-160E John Lennon Dreadnought Acoustic-Electric Guitar

If you look back at old photos of a John Lennon performance you will notice how many times you see the iconic Gibson J-160E in his hand – the Epiphone EJ-160E is an affordable replica of this acoustic electric guitar. The Epiphone EJ-160E John Lennon is an advanced-jumbo guitar with sloped shoulders that features a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, a thick solid mahogany neck and solid rosewood fingerboard and bridge. The “Trapezoid” inlays that decorate the EJ-160E fretboard are found on many Epiphone and Gibson guitars of the past. The large but nicely shaped neck gives the EJ-160E a smooth and comfortable feel. The EJ-160E represents the classic elegance of vintage guitars with chrome hardware, a vintage cherry sunburst top and a stylish but understated John Lennon signature.

The John Lennon EJ160E has a big acoustic sound that is synonymous with dreadnought guitars. The tone of the Epiphone EJ160E is predominantly mid-range, making it ideal for those players who like to rock out with lively strumming or loose finger-work in the blues tradition. The full and earthy guitar sounds synonymous with early Beatles recordings is the inspiration for the sound of the EJ-160E. If you are looking for a beefy, full-bodied sound, this guitar is for you.

With the built-in mini acoustic humbucker the EJ-160E sounds great plugged-in, producing a vibrant yet clear sound. The positioning of the humbuck (between the sound hole and the end of the fretboard) enriches the tone of the amped-up guitar. Located on the lower bout of the guitar are the simple but effective volume and tone control knobs.

The John Lennon EJ160E is an homage to one of the most significant musicians in history. If you are a John Lennon fanatic or are just looking for an inexpensive, premium acoustic electric guitar then take a look at the EJ-160E.
