John Lennon's Guitars

I'm not sure if this will be of interest. Maybe it's not even appropriate. But it was interesting to me. The way even great musicians had trouble getting good instruments at the beginning of their careers, and the way The Beatles bought factory-made guitars and had them modified, and the way guitar companies eventually wanted to convince them to use their guitars. I think there are lessons here for luthiers.

The Soviet consulate sent them a set of cheap nylon string guitars. Must have been a gift for writing Back in the USSR
