John Lennon:

Gibson Les Paul Junior

"I can make a guitar speak. I can make it howl and move. I was a rhythm guitarist. It's an important job.”– – John Lennon

In 1999, Epiphone created two limited-editions John Lennon Casino models, the Epiphone John Lennon "65" Casino (in Vintage Sunburst) and the Epiphone John Lennon "Revolution" Casino (stripped to its natural finish). Both guitars were immediate hits with players and Beatles' fans alike. And in 2002, Gibson Montana introduced the Gibson John Lennon J-160E Peace Model, a limited edition replica of the 1962 guitar that Lennon used faithfully while recording, in movies, and for live performances.

The Gibson Custom Shop has now added to the prestigious line of John Lennon Gibsons, the Gibson John Lennon Les Paul, a faithful reproduction of the modified 1950s Les Paul Junior Lennon played at his unforgettable performance on August 30, 1972 at New York City's Madison Square Garden to benefit the One to One Organization, a group that helped children with learning disabilities.
