For those who haven't seen this, it’s featured on the Gretsch website:

John Lennon’s Gretsch G6120DC Featured In Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.

If the video doesn’t appear below, go to the page and watch. It's pretty cool (albeit short).

Sweet, love to hear of John's generosity, nice that it found it's way into the museum

[Scott Fraser]

So cool. I have never seen a single picture of John with a Gretsch, so this is a real revelation. Quite a historic artifact, the Paperback Writer guitar.

There's a picture of John playing it in Babiuk's book 'Beatles Gear' (p.179)

Fletch, I don't see your pic. It may be me, as I just added some Safari extensions, but in case it isn’t showing up, here are some I like:

Makes me wish I kept my 1967 Nashville.

His pants are hideous!

Crooner,
It's the top picture of the ones you posted. The one that shows the back of the Amp.

Pretty cool. I always wondered why he only used that guitar once. I suspect it didn't speak to him much. Who knows?

Thanks for posting - great clip.

But the boots are fab!

And speaking of boots... I don't want to be sexist, but have you noticed that all the nice boots are now made
for women? They've hijacked the good boots - all we blokes have left are cowboy boots and these long nose winkle pickers that can only be worn by male models and people with big banana feet (apologies to Billy Connolly!)
