Gibson's tribute guitar to John Lennon is an exact copy of Lennon's 1950's Les Paul Junior he played at the famous live performance at Madison Square Garden in 1972. Gibson's Custom Shop will produce only 300 of these special, limited-edition guitars.
As the original guitar resides permanently in the John Lennon museum in Japan, the Gibson Custom Shop worked with Yoko Ono in the recreation of this famously modified guitar. The Lennon-Paul guitar is aged to look just like the original that was once sanded down to the solid mahogany body. It includes aged hardware and the famous Charlie Christian pickup in the neck position that was installed in Lennon's original by Ron DeMarino in the 1970's.
Other special details include: a P-90 single coil in the bridge position; rosewood fingerboard; 24 3/4-inch scale; solid mahogany body and neck; and chrome ABR-1 with stop bar tailpiece.
Each of the 300 limited-edition guitars will be accompanied by a Custom Shop guitar case and a certificate of authenticity in a special army green cloth folder with John's autograph embroidered on the cover. In addition, purchasers of this guitar will receive an article that includes an interview with DeMarino by Andy Babiuk, author of "The Beatles Gear", as well as a signed Lennon print by famed artist Allison Lefcort, and Lennon's famous "New York City" T-shirt.
This one of 300 guitars sells for: $7,527 MSRP and for more, visit: www.gibsoncustom.com/inspiredby/Lennon.html.
