Of Beatles Interest - an original 1950s Gallotone 'Champion' 3/4 size acoustic guitar, identical in make and model to that of the one owned and played by John Lennon - his first guitar. Notable as being played by Lennon at the Woolton Fete in July 1957, the day he first met Paul McCartney. Sunburst painted body, with white painted edge and a pressed steel plate and fixed wooden bridge. Original tuners. Physically in good condition with a low action and easily playable. Cosmetically has some signs of wear, commensurate with age. Lacking label to interior. Special piece of Beatles related memorabilia.
