I saw one in Southpaw Guitars on Bellaire Saturday.

I thought I remember hearing low 40's with 10-15mph wind gusts...

Thanks Jeff, wow! that's a lot more than I anticipated. I sure wish Gibson would consider making a few more for those of us with less than 50k (or 15k for one) burning in our pockets. I guess you could repaint a J-160E into a close approximation, but come on only 50 ever made????

Has anyone owned/seen this guitar? I thought it was a limited release in the late 90's with the sunburst and peace versions, but I've never read or seen anything regarding it.

Thanks Joe and David for the advice and welcome. Hey, back when Gibson released the limited-edition John Lennon J-160E back in the late nineties (?), did they actually produce a psychedelic (Sgt. P) paint job version? I've seen the sunburst and peace versions on ebay, but no purple/blue J-160E.

Hey guys, long time viewer, first time poster (ha-ha...) any road, I got my EJ-160E recently and I was hoping the experts here could tell me exactly what are the best "suitable" upgrades for the guitar. I did put vintage Gibson knobs on, but being a novice guitar player, I didn't know how far to go ...
