Lennon's vibrato tailpieces in song

Post by kiramdear »

A lot of attention has been given to John's gear, including the three whammy bars that adorned his Ricks - Kaufmann, Bigsby, and Accent. But for the life of me, I can't find an example where he actually used any of them in a song. If anyone can illuminate me I'd be much obliged. :)

I've heard that 'Cry for a Shadow' from the Anthology I CD features the '58 325's Kauffman vibrato. Lennon certainly didn't seem to use vibrato very much.

I don't know about his vibrato tailpieces, but his Casino's trapeze tailpiece figures prominently in the outro of Oh! Darling.
