FlametopFred FlametopFred FlametopFred Planeteer Registered: 06/03/99 Posts: 8511 Loc: at the wave ranch dressing	came up in the signature of Vanillagrits interesting photo of Lennon, circa 1968 - still listening to other records. Not sure what guitar that is on the floor. There is a phone nearby. maybe not an office ? Could be somebody's house? Interesting. They seem to have just eaten a curry. Looks like White Album era. If only we could read the record labels!

Looks like any respectable musician's living room in the 60's-70's to me. $\:\)$ _________________________ uptildawn

The one in that photo (above) isn't clear enough to see the string pairs. _________________________ uptildawn

zulualphacharlie zulualphacharlie Planeteer Registered: 03/22/06 Posts: 1625	Yes, it would be nice to see more of the guitar in the photo of Lennon. I belong to a Guild collectors forum, and I'm under the impression the guitar has been positively ID'd by people with more knowledge. I think other clues like the master volume on the lower bout, the lack of binding in the f holes, and details that collectors focus on have helped to ID it. I could ask over at the Guild foum if you'd like to know more about it.
