Epiphone EJ-160E John Lennon

No artist has inspired the adoption of the acoustic/electric guitar quite like John Lennon. From his pioneering public performances in the early 60s with The Beatles, Lennon showcased the versatility and vibrant sound of his Kalamazoo factory-made J-160E "jumbo". This model gained prominence during The Beatles' appearances in the UK and left an indelible mark on music history in films like "Help!" and performances of tracks like "You're Gonna Lose That Girl" and "Another Girl."

John Lennon's use of the J-160E reached a poignant peak at the Bed-in for Peace in Toronto 1969, where he played "Give Peace A Chance," forever associating this guitar with messages of peace and artistic innovation. This guitar is not just an instrument but a testament to Lennon's profound impact on music and culture, making it an essential addition to any collection.
