No sh!t. Wonder how they get away it so blatantly.

That's a cheap shot.....or a very expensive one. Does Yoko know?

Scroll down and read the fine print at the bottom- looks like Yoko is in on it. http://www.fargenamps.com/products/john-lennon

I don't understand what it has to do with Lennon.I don't understand why people would buy one.

Thanks. Why such a small font? I was looking for this notice but missed it. This should be one of the first things to see. Then this topic wouldn't have even started.

Unless the opinion of the OP is that it's Yoko who is cashing in...

I don't think that is an opinion rather a fact

She can't possibly get enough money out of this to make any difference to her.

Compared to say royalties from selling out to iTunes.

A series offering: three different amps or at least the art work is different on each one.

To damn high price for anyone but an art collector.

Baby step?

Looks like a straight licensing deal. Bag One Arts grants licenses for almost anything Lennon or Lennon art related (they don't control the music). The amps look to be limited editions (at least the "Artist" series -- 5 drawings x 11 amps each). Fargen also has a deal to produce Lennon pedals.

Looks like all versions use the same 15W 2xEL84 scheme.

Too bad Lennon's children don't get a piece of his legacy, it seems Jullian was largely left out of John's will.

I cash in on Lennon too. I wear a Lennon NYC shirt and I have 2 pistols and 48 rnds of ammo on my person.

It's like a white flag made of pox blankets.

Maybe she just likes amps...

Who wants to bet she is a member here?
