Description
1964 Gibson J-160E, Gordon Waller (Peter & Gordon) Collection. UNRESERVED. Serial#: 188966. Gordon Waller's favorite guitar, as evidenced by the extensive wear and information provided by Waller's widow. Three control knobs (two for volume, one for tone tortoise pickguard, black pickup, two headstock inlays, and pearl trapezoid inlays on the fingerboard. The back contains cracks, the neck with some dents and scratches, and the top is visibly scratched. Pieces of the finish are missing around the sound hole area, which is further proof that Gordon Waller thought highly of this Gibson guitar and played it quite frequently. There are numerous photos of Waller playing this guitar during the '60s, and he used the guitar to record many of Peter & Gordon's biggest hits during the mid '60s.
Condition
Fair condition; lots of cracks along the back; one of the knobs is a new reproduction with two original, so one was probably added by Gordon Waller later on - evidence of an extra acoustic pickup when examining the interior of the GTR; finish checking, dings and cracks in the back, extensive pick wear near soundhole, crack in binding on back
