- Rickenbacker 325: A semi-hollow electric guitar with a smaller body and a scale length of 22.75 inches. This was one of Lennon's most iconic guitars and he used it extensively during the early years of The Beatles.
- Gibson J-160E: An acoustic guitar with a jumbo body and a scale length of 24.75 inches. Lennon used this guitar on several Beatles recordings, including "Julia" and "Across the Universe."
- Epiphone Casino: A semi-hollow electric guitar with a similar body shape to the Rickenbacker 325, but with a scale length of 24.75 inches. Lennon used the Casino on several Beatles recordings, including "Revolution" and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps."
So while Lennon did play some smaller-scale guitars, such as the Rickenbacker 325, he also used regular-sized guitars like the Gibson J-160E and the Epiphone Casino.
