Martin Guitar will be celebrating the 100th anniversary of its iconic Dreadnought model (1916-2016), known worldwide as the most copied body size in the world. To launch the year-long celebration, Martin Guitar will unveil two distinctive limited edition models during the 2016 Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California: the D-222 Anniversary Edition and D-28 John Lennon 75th Anniversary Edition. The two limited-edition models pay homage to the highly influential instrument which shaped the sound of American music.
• D-28 JOHN LENNON 75TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION:
“This guitar celebrates John’s life and songwriting. May it inspire all who play it to carry the torch of peace and light that John embraced through his own life and music.”—Yoko Ono
To commemorate John Lennon ’s 75th Birthday , this model is limited to only 75 instruments. This amazing Dreadnought will be highly sought after for many years and is sure to be a wonderful addition to any guitar enthusiast’s collection. A solid Adirondack spruce top with Vintage Tone System (www.martinguitar.com/VTS) is combined with Madagascar rosewood back and sides for a strong and powerful bass resonance—the back being inlaid with HD-28 style zig-zag peace sign marquetry.
The Madagascar rosewood headplate is adorned with John Lennon ’s famous self-portrait illustration that rests beneath the Martin script logo. This beautiful mother-of-pearl, John Lennon themed design is inlaid throughout this model to make this a truly unique instrument. (MSRP: $11,999)

Oh yeah, I’ve totally got $12000 to burn on another Martin guitar, when I’ve already got one and what I really need is a nice electric… or two. 
Bad Silly Girl. Stop it, now.

Offline Sad news from the Beatles Examiner that @Happy Nat, a member of this forum, though only an occasional poster, is retiring his The Beatles Rarity blog, at least for the time being.
Thanks for all the great rare recordings you’ve put up over the years, Happy Nat, as well as all your other features.
They will be missed.
Not that he’s taking the site down, so the good and rare music he’s provided over the years will remain for us all to rifle through.
Best of luck with whatever’s next for you Happy Nat.

From an article on the BBC
Virtuoso guitarist Milos Karadaglic argues The Beatles are “as important as Bach” and should be considered part of the core classical music catalogue.
Milos Karadaglic is the world’s most popular classical guitarist, renowned for his fluent and expressive playing….
Interestingly, the guitarist was not aware of The Beatles during his childhood in Montenegro. His first exposure to the band’s work came when a teacher at the Royal Academy suggested that he learn Yesterday , in an arrangement by the Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu.
“After I studied the piece, I fell in love with it completely,” he says.
In fact, he now argues that The Beatles should have a place in the classical catalogue.
“I don’t see a difference between those songs and Schubert. The Beatles left such a big mark on how we hear music today, so it feels equally natural to play the Beatles as it does to play Bach.”

I definitely agree with the Schubert part; while listening to his and some of Schumann’s songs recently I could see no difference between them and a lot of pop music nowadays. I felt the same while listening to some classical guitar. Perhaps in this part of the repertoire we just need to see what stands the test of time before it can be labelled classical?
[EDIT] and maybe in the “Classical Musings” thread?

Offline First seen in Vancouver, Canada last year, The Magical Mystery Tour : A Beatles Memorabilia Exhibition, which got some very good reviews, is scheduled for the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan from 30 April to 18 September. For anyone interested, it should be underlined that it includes the last album John autographed. There is some discomfort at that.

There were reports on the web that it was being produced by the same person who works with Adele – and it might take a while to complete – so it would be called 75
