Behold John Lennon’s Rickenbacker 325, at least as envisioned by Harmonix. The controller will be sold for $99 alongside The Beatles: Rock Band, which goes on sale on Sept. 9.
If you’re interested, Harmonix is now accepting preorders at TheBeatlesRockBand.com. Fans who preorder will receive “exclusive news and access to exclusive game elements,” according to the company.
For those who want every last semblance of the Beatles experience,
Harmonix is also selling the Gretsch Duo Jet guitar used by George
Harrison. At this point, it appears that the controllers will be sold separately, and not as part of the $249.99 Special Edition package that features the bass, drums and microphone.
The Special Edition set includes the Hofner bass used by Paul McCartney, and the Ludwig-branded drum set inspired by Ringo Starr. There’s also a mic, of course, but that doesn’t seem to be inspired by any band member in particular. Reportedly, the game will allow up to three mics, enabling three-part harmonies.
