Al Jones Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I have a guitar that I inherited, and I'm having a hard time getting the correct age and model. I haven't seen one like this one with the pick-up accessory (factory install), and I'm not able to verify it by the number stamped in the body. The number stamped is: S6958-27 I'm wondering if anyone is familiar with this type of number and what year it was made. I'll add a picture of the number in another post.

ksdaddy Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Looks like a 1959 J-160E to me! (the S prefix would indicate 1959 in that particular era’s version of Gibson’s serial number system) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larsongs Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Do you remember The Beatles? John & George played them… From what I’ve read it’s the only Beatles Guitar that appears on every Beatles Album… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A treat to see early Abbey Road studio with the vintage electronics and the Lads with the gear the song was recorded with. Never noticed Paul enjoying playing the bass line there.
