Decent Model (REPLICA VERSION)
I have the replica version of this guitar with John Lennon's signature on the wood. As a massive Lennon fan, it's definitely a cool instrument to play around with. It has very bright intonation and has the standard Beatle songwriting sound. However, I'm not sure if I'd use this live. It's a bit stiff and for me personally, the strings are too stiff for the fuller sound that I want. The finish is beautiful though. I've practiced and recorded with this guitar many times and it has rarely failed me. Just a bit stiff and difficult to play so I really have to crack down with it.
My number 1 acoustic guitar!
Extremely high quality guitar! And it looks awesome!
