Gibson J-160E är en av de första halvakustiska gitarrerna som produceras av Gibson.
J-160E var Gibsons andra försök att skapa en halvakustisk gitarrer (den första var CF-100E med sin lilla kropp[1]). Grundtanken bakom gitarren var att få plats med en gitarrmikrofon på en normalstor akustisk gitarr. För att förstärka gitarren installerades därför en single coil pickup (en P-90 utan kåpa) precis över ljudhålet. Gitarren har en volymratt och en tonratt.[2]

Läst 18 september 2017."The 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160E is built in the exacting image of the groundbreaking original J-160E of the 1950s and '60s. ... Gibson applied a great deal of forward-looking, out-of-the-box thinking to the design of the J-160E in 1954. ... To build one of the world's first truly successful electro-acoustic guitars, Gibson re-drew the blueprint: it crafted a three-layer laminated Sitka spruce top with ladder bracing specifically to resist feedback, used a mahogany back and sides for added warmth and richness, added an adjustable bridge, and installed a P-90 pickup (without traditional cover) beneath the top at the end of the fingerboard, along with a single volume and tone control and a 1/4" output jack. In addition, the guitar's solid mahogany neck was attached at the 15th fret to give performers plenty of access to the highest of the instrument's jumbo frets."
