This white 10oz ceramic mug is decorated with a highly detailed hand drawn illustration of George Harrison's Gibson J-160E.
The hybrid Gibson J-160E was originally released in 1954 as one of the world's first successful ‘electro-acoustic’ models, with built-in pickup and electronics. This model was only available from the United States in 1962 so George and John went together to collect their specially ordered J-160E’s on 10th September 1962 and put them to good use recording Love Me Do, With The Beatles and A Hard Day’s Night.
George’s ‘Jumbo’ has remained with his estate whilst John's
was stolen in December 1963 during the Christmas show at the Finsbury Park
Astoria Theatre in
