Gibson J-160E John Lennon Limited Edition 3 Guitar Package
| The
Gibson J-160E was the only instrument Lennon used faithfully
throughout his years as as Beatle. Now Gibson, in cooperation
with Yoko Ono, presents this extremely limited series of J-160E
John Lennon Guitars crafted and finished to replicate Lennon's
own guitars from three stages of his career. The first (on
right) is the Fab Four Model (his original), the second (center)
is the Magical Tour Model from the late 60s when John Lennon had
his Rolls Royce, his upright piano, and his J-160E painted in
psychedelic colors and patterns. The third (left) is the Bed-in
Model from 1968. Lennon had the psychedelic paint job stripped
off his guitar in favor of a more natural look. When John Lennon
and Yoko spent their '69 honeymoon holding their first week long
'Bed-in" demonstration, sharing the bed with the couple was
John's stripped J-160E. All three historic guitars have been
handcrafted under the direction of master luthier Ren Ferguson,
who with Yoko Ono's permission made a careful study of John
Lennon's actual J-160E at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to
prepare for these replicas. All three include hardshell cases. |
