Classic Beatles Sound!

John Lennon and George Harrison both used Gibson J-160Es for much of the acoustic work heard on Beatles albums. In 1967, Lennon commissioned a psychedelic paintjob for his trusty J-160E for the "All You Need is Love" satellite broadcast (though Lennon opted not to play the guitar during the broadcast). This is a Limited Edition Replica of the Gibson that Lennon used faithfully while recording, in movies and for live performances. The Peace Model resembles Lennon's Guitar in 1969, after he stripped away the psychedelic paint job.
