To celebrate the recent 40th anniversary of one rock's most memorable albums, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Hamer Guitars made a very special guitar. Dubbed “Uncle Pepper,” the one-of-a-kind guitar was created by legendary guitar designer Jol Dantzig, founder of Hamer Guitars, and world renowned Beatles artist, Shannon.
The guitar will be auctioned and proceeds wiil benefit underprivileged children around the world through Yoko Ono's Alder Hey, Imagine Appeal charity. After the winner is chosen, the Uncle Pepper guitar will be displayed in the lobby of the Hard Day's Night Hotel for an entire year with the winner's name on a brass plaque that depicts the guitar's significance—quite a collectible for some lucky bidder!

I don’t know if I agree about his human kindness. His more popular than Jesus statement really destroyed his innocent persona. He wasn’t a great Dad, nor loyal husband.
He acted like a juvenile rock star in many ways. His political views got the attention of Richard M Nixon who had him on the FBI watch list.
I know he grew up as an Episcopalean. His example is what happens when people leave the church, IMO. Not sounding judgemental.
After the Beatles split, he could have been much more positive. Instead, he opted for heroin and other substances to only become more insane.
John Lennon has always been a hero of mine because of his deep belief in human kindness. I hope that everyone will help perpetuate his memory and add their own bit of kindness to the world by participating in the Imagine Appeal’s drawing for this beautiful guitar. Drawing begins October 9th (John’s birthday) at: Unclepepper.com
Thanks for caring,
