John Lennon J-160E
 This product is no longer available.
The Epiphone EJ160E John Lennon is a unique instrument with the foundation of a great advanced jumbo mahogany-body, solid spruce-top acoustic guitar. It has all the warm, punchy tone that is the hallmark of that type of acoustic guitar design. But this guitar doesnt stop there. The EJ-160E also provides a mini humbucking pickup, located just off the neck, above the soundhole, which delivers a tremendous, fat tone through your amp. Tone and volume controls are provided, as is chrome hardware.

Since 1873, Epiphone instruments have been proudly played and endorsed by professional artists. And while every Epiphone is a compilation of over 125 years of experience working directly with musicians, only a few embody a single artists individual creativity and spirit. The Epiphone Signature Collection guitars are as legendary and as individual as the artists themselves.

The guitar comes with electric strings and an electric guitar pickup nestled between the fretboard and the sound hole. Although a little guiet, mine has a nice warm, late night blues tone through electric guitar amp. It also sounds great as a traditional acoustic guitar if you switch to standard acoustic strings, but this kills its sound when plugged in. Either way it sounds and plays great for a guitar its price, but you have to make the choice if you want to use it plugged in as an electric or unplugged as an acoustic unless you can switch strings really fast.

Although the Epi 160-E doesn't have the tonal nuances of the original Gibson,it is an extremely well made guitar with a very clean tonal range and great projection.The playability is superb and the overall quality is way beyond that of many others in its price range.When I play my Epi 160-E through my Vox AC-15 the resulting tone is so true to the original that I get goosebumps.I first tried I Feel Fine because John played his 160-E on that recording and I was amazed by the likeness to the Gibson counterpart's tone.All in all this is a great guitar,even if it didn't have the Lennon connection.

Great looking, great feel, great sound. Don't let the previous review scare you away, this sounds no different from "ordinary acoustics." The previous poster is comparing a $600 guitar to a $2,600 guitar. This guitar of mine hasn't been put down for more than a day at a time since I bought it 3 years ago.

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.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
