An amp that is believed to have been used by John Lennon during the Beatles’ Cavern days has been rediscovered after over 60 years.
It’s a Vox AC15 Twin and whilst it’s yet to be absolutely verified by an expert it looks likely to be the guitar amp Lennon purchased from Hessy’s Music in Liverpool in July 1962. It has the same serial number – 4563 - and corrected dated internal components. The fact that AC15s are exceedingly rare – apparently only 30 were produced during this era – weighs in its favour too.
