“I realized I had something very exciting on my hands. I wasn’t expecting it at all”: Guitarist unwittingly buys John Lennon’s old Fender Deluxe – after the suspected White Album combo turned up on Facebook Marketplace

John Lennon.

An English guitarist has unwittingly bought John Lennon’s old Fender Deluxe guitar amp for less than $4,000, after the historic combo ended up on Facebook Marketplace.

Father of two James Tyler, 45, of Brighton, England, works in the Hi-Fi industry and was perusing the social media giant’s listings when he came across a mid-’60s blackface Fender Deluxe combo for a not-too-shabby price.
