Wow...some people just take their love of the Beatles a little too far. I mean, it's not like this IS Lennon's guitar, it's the same model, granted, but I don't think the 10K is gonna make "I Feel Fine" sound THAT much closer to the way he played it, is it? It's a very nice '64, don't get me wrong...I'd love to have it, but that's a lot of cash!!

Not to mention that "I Feel Fine" was recorded with a Gibson! Image.

The Beatlebackers are hot little guitars. 2 o'clock f-holes bug me though.

Why?
“I say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did.”

I like the one-o'clock f-holes better. Just one of them thangs.

I doubt that he has to explain anything to the missus, Darren. She's already packed and left!! Image
