VERIFIED BUYER
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: If you play the early Beatles, it is obligatory that you have (preferably a sun-burst J160 (Do they still make them?). This guitar provides a very brassy and powerful sound that is distinctive of so many Beatle recordings. Mine sounds better with age, since it is not coated with polyurethane. Feature: This is not really relevant to this guitar. A case comes with the guitar. You buy anything else. Ease of Use: No learning curve. Entirely intuitive. Quality: Excellent quality, overall. My only complaint is that the guitar is difficult to play on the high end, and the frets are too high. Gibson could and should do a better job with this. In this at least, the $500 Epiphone clone has the 160 beat. Value: One is buying the Gibson name, here. Is it worth the price? Probably not in practical terms. But I still love it. Manufacturer Support: I have not dealt with Gibson about the J160. The Wow Factor: High sex appeal. An icon of an era. Overall: Will never, ever, get rid of this guitar.
