Hello,
 
I own a 1995 Gibson J160e and am looking to pick up a second one from that  
production period. Three months ago I purchased a brand new  J160e. I'm 
interested in purchasing yours or trading my 2005 new one for yours.  Here 
are the 
differences between my new 2005 one and my older 1995 one:
 
1. Tone and Volume knobs:
 
The new one is appointed more precisely like the originals with the words  
"volume" and "tone" written on the top of each of the respective knobs. The 
1995 
 model amber volume knobs are tapered and don't are not tagged with words. 
 
2. Headstock:
 
The new on has a wider headstock than the 1995 model.
 
3. Frets:
 
The new one has jumbo frets and the 1995 one has thinner frets. 
 
4. Weight & sound:
 
The new one is a bit lighter, has more high end and less bottom end. 
 
5. Pick ups:
 
I've installed both with a Fishman Transducer pickup under the bridge  
because it sounds better than the electic pickup.
 
Please call me on my home/office line anytime day or night to discuss. I  
live in the Chicago area.
 
Thanks,
 
Kevin
