Sound: Very Natural sound due to the passive humbucker. Even suitable for distortion. Sounds like a ES 335 but with more sustain (because there is no sustain block in the body). You can play very loud without getting any feedback. can be used with a classical acoustic amp or even a marshall full stack. use it for pop, pop-punk, country, classical spanish riffs, rock (guys, it's still a Beatles guitar), crossover/hard 'n' heavy. // 9
Action, Fit & Finish: Very well set up by the factory. But the pickup wasn't adjusted well (pickup would only deliver very high tones, work: 2 minutes with a screwdriver). There is an error in the finish, barely visible but it made the guitar cheaper (original price 672EUR, my price: 499EUR). The strapholder was loose(work: 1 minute with screwdriver). // 6
Reliability & Durability: The guitar beats any other guitar I've played live an can even compete with semi-acoustics. I used it on serveral concerts and there was never a single problem. The guitar is even very stable (amp fell on the guitar, little scratch, no problem). // 10
Impression: Even for its full price 672EUR, the John Lennon is worth every single cent. If you are looking for a reliable partner for touring, recording and rocking the stage, this is the guitar of the hour. I love it although I'm not a Beatles fan. // 9
