The Epiphone EJ-160E John Lennon is an affordable copy of the iconic electro-acoustic guitar that John Lennon favoured throughout his career, the Gibson J-160E. 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. Adorning the fretboard are “Trapezoid” inlays, traditionally found on old Gibsons and Epiphones. The neck of the EJ-160E has the comfortable, rounded feel of late 1950’s Gibson electrics to make it smooth and easy to play. With chrome hardware, a vintage cherry sunburst top and a graceful John Lennon signature, the EJ-160E has an elegantly vintage look.
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. The guitar is perfect for who want a full-bodied and beefy sound.
The EJ-160E offers a terrific plugged in experience through the on-board mini acoustic humbucker. The tone of the amped-up guitar is enriched by the positioning of the humbuck – neatly placed between the end of the fretboard and sound-hole. The volume and tone control knobs are conveniently placed on the lower bout of the guitar, similar to standard electric guitars.
The John Lennon EJ160E is an homage to one of the most significant musicians in history. The EJ-160E is not only a great tribute to John Lennon but it is functioning guitar of the highest order.
