This guitar (with a single P90 pickup) was used by Lennon in Mid-Late 1970 on his first solo album, John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band. It’s unknown who or where Lennon got this guitar but it was mostly purchased during his Primal Therapy sessions in June of 1970. Lennon supposedly used this guitar on My Mummy’s Dead, Look at Me (along with either his Martin D-28 or Gibson J-160E) and Well, Well, Well. At this moment, the guitars whereabouts are unknown though it is possible that Yoko Ono still has the guitar in her possession.
