Gibson made around 800 John Lennon signature J-160E from 1999 to 2000. The desgin was based on Lennon's 1962 sunburst finished J-160E used on the earliest Beatles recordings. There were only minor differences to Lennon's 1962 J-160E: the reissue had different tuners and a "John Lennon" signature truss-rod cover and a corian bridge saddle.
Gibson have since issued various other John Lennon signature J-160Es - for example the 2010 70th Anniversary J-160E VS is similar to the 1999-2000 model.
