Martin John Lennon Model

I found an email from Music Villa this morning offering 3 Lennon J160s; white, natural with Lennon's cartoon sketches on the soundboard, and a sunburst version. $28,000.00 for the set. I'm gonna have to think about it. [mellow]

 

 

I thought about it for about two seconds before saying "no thanks". That's not a very effective pitch for getting rid of excess stock.

 

The only good thing that came out of it for me was that I started watching some fairly early Beatles videos involving John on the J-160, including "I Feel Fine", which features the accidental feedback from the J-160. Pretty cool to read the history of that particular recording.

 

As a former studio/concert engineer, the mechanics of sound production--especially the fortuitous accidents--never lose their attraction.
