Guitars used by John "Beaky" Dymond on The Legend of Xanadu
Avg price: $3,637.39
John "Beaky" Dymond, throughout the band's hayday, used a Gibson J-160E acoustic guitar. He had used the guitar extensively from 1966 to around 1969. The Gibson J-160E is an electric-acoustic guitar, with an extended neck range to fit the stripped P90 pick-up; it is of course made famous by The Beatles, but Beaky is also one of the players of this instrument.
Beaky would use this Gibson durinf both recording and live performances. It is a rarity that he would perform with an electric guitar as this guitar is quite versatile.
By late 1968, Beaky would strip the electronics and the finish of the guitar and paint the body white, with flower decals on the pickguard. This modification can be seen in the music videos for "The Wreck of The Antoinette" and "Mr President".
Beaky does not seem to perform with this guitar anymore, it is most likely retired due to overuse.
