From the listing

Seller's description

A limited-edition signature model—replicating the beloved guitar used by John Lennon of The Beatles in his later years—is now in stock, with only 1,965 units available worldwide! The Revolution model recreates the stripped-back, natural finish that John Lennon favored from 1968 onward. Produced in 1997 with the cooperation of Yoko Ono, this high-end model was created after John’s actual guitar—which had been stored at the Dakota House—was thoroughly measured.

It features a 5-ply maple and birch construction that faithfully reproduces the Kalamazoo Factory specifications, along with a one-piece mahogany neck and a fingerboard crafted from carefully selected, high-quality rosewood. Another notable feature is the extremely thin, single-coat satin lacquer finish, which recreates the appearance of the original sunburst finish having been stripped away. Furthermore, every iconic detail has been faithfully reproduced—from the traces of the nylon saddle and the replacement of the original Kluson tuners with gold Grover tuners, to the original holes left after removing the pickguard, the screw remaining at the neck end, and the poker chip plate attached to the toggle switch. The guitar also comes with a replacement black control knob for the front volume control. It is equipped with Gibson USA Alnico-V P-90 pickups. It is charac
