John Lennon's Gibson J160E 1967



The Gibson J-160E was the only instrument Lennon used faithfully on recordings, in movies and for live performances. Many afficionados equate the guitar with Lennon, the Beatles and the British Invasion. As Lennons life changed, so did his guitars. The three different guitars document three momentous periods of Johns life and music: the Fab Four Model (Lennon Model 1 on the left in the photograph), the Magical Mystery Tour Model (Lennon Model 2 in the center) and the Bed-In Model (Lennon Model 3 on the right).
