Gibson Acoustic releases limited edition John Lennon guitars

The 70th Anniversary John Lennon Imagine Model, the 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160VS and the 70th Anniversary John Lennon Museum J-160E Model.

Three Yoko Ono approved J-160E acoustics to mark Lennon's 70th birthday

PRESS RELEASE: New York, New York, September 20, 2010… Seventy years after his birth and three decades after his untimely passing, John Lennon's message of peace continues to touch the masses, and his songs still resonate in the hearts and minds of fans around the world. At the request of Yoko Ono, Gibson Acoustic is very proud to offer three 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160E acoustic guitars to celebrate the legacy of this extraordinary artist.

Accordingly, only a very limited number of these handmade acoustics will ever be available. In 1962, John Lennon was still an up-and-coming artist, and though one of two main singer/songwriters at the heart of The Beatles, was scraping by on the little money the band was bringing in at that time.

For his first quality American acoustic/electric guitar, Lennon had his sights set on a new Gibson J-160E - the problem was, he didn't have the money to buy it. With the aid of a co-signed purchase from Beatles manager Brian Epstein (who also co-signed for band mate George Harrison's J-160E), Lennon made the guitar his own, and put it straight to the business of making rock and roll history.

Recreated by the luthiers at Gibson's Montana acoustic guitar facility in period-perfect detail, the 70th Anniversary John Lennon models are available in three distinct versions to represent the instrument at three periods in Lennon's life and career.

The first, finished in Vintage Sunburst and limited to 500 guitars, represents the guitar as it was when Lennon first acquired it and used it on several famous Beatles recordings from 1963 to '64, including Please Please Me, With The Beatles and A Hard Day's Night. Additional specs of the 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160VS include a 70th Anniversary John Lennon MOP signature on the headstock, 1960's laminated Sitka Spruce Top, mahogany back and sides, the classic vintage Sunburst lacquer finish, Jumbo 1960's Frets, Gibson authentic P-90 pickups, a historic adjustable bridge and a 70th Anniversary MOP engraved 12th Fret birthdate of John Lennon. MSRP is $4,728 USD.

The second is a stunning Custom Shop "Imagine" model in a Soft White finish personally requested by Yoko Ono to reflect the sentiment of John's life and music during the recording of Imagine. And the third is the model as it is today, on display at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, with a thin, natural finish and Lennon's famous "John and Yoko" caricature sketches, representing the appearance of the guitar during the famous Lennon-Ono "Bed-In" peace protests of 1969.

The custom shop's second and third renditions are limited to 70 guitars each, one for every year since John's birth in 1940, and both include a special 70th Anniversary Certificate personally signed by Yoko Ono and sent to the final purchaser by Certified Mail. The white Gibson Acoustic "Imagine" model includes an anniversary John Lennon Abalone headstock signature, 70th Anniversary MOP engraved 12th fret birthdate of Lennon, 1960s laminated Sitka Spruce top, historic Gibson Ladder bracing pattern, Mahogany back and sides, Jumbo 1960's Frets, historic adjustable bridge, Gibson authentic P-90 pickups and a custom hardshell case.

As for construction, each version is an accurate rendition of the J-160E of 1962, a guitar originally released in 1954 as one of the world's first successful "electro-acoustic" guitars, with built-in pickup and electronics and ready to hit the stage for the professional performing musician. Beloved by Lennon, and kept close throughout his too-short life, the 70th Anniversary John Lennon J-160E is a guitar every Beatles fan will want to make their own. MSRP on the Imagine model is $10.748 USD.

The guitar specs of the Gibson Acoustic Lennon Museum J-160E model includes a Gibson Custom Shop Label Personally Signed by Yoko Ono, Authentic Recreation of John Lennon's Bed‐In Caricature Sketch, 70th Anniversary John Lennon MOP Headstock Signature, 70th Anniversary MOP Engraved 12th Fret Birth Date of John Lennon, Label Personally Signed by Yoko Ono, 1960's Laminated Sitka Spruce Top, Historic Gibson Ladder bracing Pattern, Mahogany Back & Sides, Custom Thin Lacquer Finish, Jumbo 1960's Frets, Historic Adjustable Bridge, Gibson Authentic P‐90 Pickup and a Gibson Custom Shop Hardshell case. MSRP on the Museum model is $15,048.00

Yoko One herself has been quoted as saying, "Remember, each one of us has the power to change the world. Just start thinking peace and the message will spread quicker than you think." The Gibson Lennon acoustic models celebrate the peace that has lived on for years through John Lennon's music and Yoko Ono's staunch devotion to his memory and legacy.

"To say how proud I am of these new John Lennon Anniversary guitars is a huge understatement. The legacy that John Lennon has given music fans around the world is unprecedented and the friendship Gibson continues with Yoko Ono is demonstrated in these remarkable instruments that are in tribute to arguably one of the world's greatest musicians," said Henry Juszkiewicz Chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar.

The Four Freshman got their first gig in Fort Wayne, IN in 1948.

At the end of the North American tour in 1964, the Beatles played a Charity concert at the Paramount Theatre in New York City, the 3,682 audience each paid $100 a ticket. Later that evening, they make yet another appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.

The Animals recorded "It's My Life" in 1965.

In 1966, George Harrison went to India for his first visit to Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. OhMMMM

In 1969, Associated TV bought control of the Beatles' music publishing company, Northern Songs, for a million pounds.

During a meeting in London in 1969 between John Lennon, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, Lennon announced he was leaving The Beatles.

Based on the comic-book TV series Archie and his friends The Archie's started a four-week run at #1 on the US singles chart in 1969 with "Sugar Sugar." It became the longest running one hit wonder in the UK after spending eight weeks at the top of the charts.

Blind Faith started a two-week run at #1 on the UK chart in 1969 with their self-titled debut album. The only release from the Eric Clapton, Steve Winwood, Ginger Baker & Rick Grech line-up also reached #1 in the US. The only UK gig was in Hyde Park, London on 7th Jun 1969.

In 1969, UK music paper Melody Maker readers poll results were published. Winners included Eric Clapton who won best musician, Bob Dylan best male singer and best album for 'Nashville Skyline'. Best group went to The Beatles, Best single went to Simon and Garfunkel for "The Boxer" and Janis Joplin won Best female singer. Bob Dylan 'best singer'? You gotta be kidding!

In 1970, Jim Morrison of The Doors was acquitted on charges of lewd and lascivious behavior, but was found guilty of exposing himself during a concert at The Dinner Key Auditorium in Coconut Grove a year and a half earlier. At his trial at the Dade County Courthouse in Miami, Judge Goodman sentenced Morrison to six months hard labor and a $500, fine for public exposure and sixty days hard labor for profanity. The sentence was appealed, but Morrison was never brought to trial, as he would die in Paris France on July 3, 1971.

In 1972, Paul and Linda McCartney were arrested for the second time in four weeks for possession of cannabis this time at their Scottish farmhouse in Campbeltown. Dern vegans!

Grand Funk Railroad own the #1 spot on the pop chart in 1973 with “We're An American Band.”

"Fame" gave David Bowie his first #1 in the US in 1975, the song was co-written with John Lennon.

The Captain and Tennille musical variety show premiered on ABC TV in 1976. (and my Mother loved them!) Me? I was out smoking pot :O)

Queen started a five-week run at #1 on the US album chart in 1980 with 'The Game', the group's only US #1 album.

Huey Lewis and the News started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart in 1986 with "Stuck With You."

In 1993, just back from a tour of Japan, keyboard player with The Charlatans Rob Collins was with out with an old friend. They stopped at an off-licence and his friend went in, half-jokingly saying he could rob the place. When he came out with a loud bang, Collins stupidly picked him up. The police arrested the pair the next day and charged them both with attempted robbery and possession of a firearm (it was a replica gun).

The Dave Matthews Band released ‘Under the Table and Dreaming’ in 1994, the album featured their first commercial hits "What Would You Say," "Satellite" and "Ants Marching." The album was dedicated to Matthews' older sister Anne, who was killed by her husband in 1994 in a murder-suicide.

Natalie Merchant started her first solo tour in 1995 after leaving the 10,000 Maniacs. She was supporting her first solo album "Tigerlily."

In 1997, Elton John started a six week run at #1 on the UK singles chart with "Something About The Way You Look Tonight," and "Candle In The Wind 97." A re-write of his 1974 hit about Marilyn Monroe. This version was raising funds for the Diana, Princess of Wales charity, following her death in Paris. It went on to become the biggest selling single in the world ever.

In 1997, Pearl Jam's 'Jeremy' video was cited as one of the reasons American teenager Barry Loukaitis had snapped into a violent rage that left three people dead. Defense attorneys took the unprecedented step of playing the video in a Washington court. Yeah, the video was at fault. No one blamed cartoons when I hit my brother over the head with a hammer, it was the hammer's fault. I saw Heckle and Jeckle do it with no harm done.....



In 1998 - The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum paid tribute to Robert Johnson with eight days of activities. Johnson only recorded 29 songs before dying in August of 1938.

Former Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page was honored for his charity work with underprivileged young people in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2005. Page helps support Casa Jimmy, a shelter for orphans, teenage mothers and other poverty-stricken young people that is administered by the Task Brazil organization. "The greatest satisfaction is not the decoration. It is knowing that I am able to help someone who needs help," says Page during the ceremony. Humble and full of class..

In 2005, Canadian JD Fortune, beat two other finalists to become the new lead singer with INXS after a worldwide search to replace the late Michael Hutchence. INXS held auditions in six continents as part of a reality TV series.
