I think that John is playing the J-160E on "You're Gonna Lose That Girl". Check out the "recording session" scene in Help! I own a J-160E and the tone is a good match to what's on the recording.

As legends go at least, The Beatles started using their sonic blue Strats during the "Rubber Soul" sessions in late 1965.

Their style of playing somewhat shifted beginning with this L.P. George and John began recording/ playing some songs in "unison" verses their previous method of traditional rythym guitar lead guitar set up. This new setup gave the Beatles'songs a different tone and texture.

"Nowhere Man" was played in unison with the Strats using a whole lot of treble at the mixing desk to achieve that sound.
