Orville by Gibson J-160E
Get your Lennon on with this stunning vintage flat top from Orville by Gibson. Built in Japan under licence from Gibson in the 80's and 90's, Orville by Gibson guitars were only offered for sale in the Japanese Domestic Market and are somewhat of a rare find on this side of the planet (especially the acoustics).
The J-160E was essentially a J-45 with a P-90 pickup bolted at the top of the sound hole. There's no fancy preamp or EQ here, it's a passive Gibson pickup fitted to an acoustic guitar.
The guitar itself is a lovely example of a Gibson flat top. The top is book matched Spruce and the back, sides and neck are all Mahogany. It's finished in the iconic Vintage Sunburst finish which looks fantastic.
