This is a very special guitar. It was a special order in 1984 made from 1964 parts. I purchchased it in March of 1984. It has a couple of minor dings from a small amount of gigging. Photos of the dings are included. It is in otherwise pristine condition. It also includes the original hard shell case. This is an exact copy of the guitar John Lennon used on the Ed Sullivan Show except for the custom whammy bar he had installed. This guitar looks and sounds great and would be a great addition to anyone's collection. Shipping cost is free in the continental US. This has been a staple in my Beatle guitar collection for many years and I hate to see it go, but duty calls. It's worth way more than I'm asking. I hope it finds a good home.
