| The EJ160E is not even a close comparison to the J160E except for the lookalike tuner knobs, lookalike pickup, volume/tone control knob placement and lookalike fingerboard inlays.
The body shape, sound, saddle and colour are completely different. However, with the Gibson electric string set SEG 900ML (11-52) the guitar sounds best (I think). Good bottom end and nice highs. I have tried many sets, and this set really works. The guitar is pretty and has vibe and to a non conniseur of guitars it looks like the J160E, I own the "Real" J160E therefore I can honestly compare. Still a very cool guitar and with a few mods like, better tuners (Grovers look the same) Graph Tech compensated saddle and Graph Tech pins, this guitar sounds great! Worth the money, but remember, it does not sound like an ordinary acoustic, it is very midrange and not for all styles. I am happy with my purchase for what I wanted.
