Beatles. Quarrymen.


Gallotone Champion acoustic guitar.

Same as John Lennon’s first guitar. Highly collectible.

100% original. Very difficult to find in this condition.


Please read: the paint lost some of its original colour. Bear in mind, it was built as an entry level guitar in the 40’s/50’s in South Africa, so it can be played, but please don’t expect this to be up to modern playing standards.

Has some scratches on the back and strings need adjusting.
