His other instrument of choice was the piano, on which he also composed many songs. For instance, Lennon's jamming on a piano together with Paul McCartney led to creation of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" in 1963.
We wrote a lot of stuff together, one on one, eyeball to eyeball. Like in 'I Want to Hold Your Hand,' I remember when we got the chord that made the song. We were in Jane Asher's house, downstairs in the cellar playing on the piano at the same time. And we had, 'Oh you-u-u/ got that something...' And Paul hits this chord [B minor] and I turn to him and say, 'That's it!' I said, 'Do that again!' In those days, we really used to absolutely write like that—both playing into each other's nose."
Rickenbacker makes several "Lennon" model electric guitars, Gibson makes a limited-edition replica of his J-160E and an "inspired by" John Lennon Les Paul replicating the modified Junior. Epiphone also makes two "Lennon" edition guitars; the EJ-160e and the Inspired by John Lennon Casino.

In this picture from 1968 of John in his home studio at Kenwood, you can see the Rose-Morris Model 1966 leaning against the wall. This image was reduced x3 to get it in the web page. The full size picture clearly shows it is this guitar.
1963, when Beatles’ manager Epstein had scheduled a 16-night run of two shows per night at the Astoria Theatre in Finsbury Park, North London. This incredible run of shows began on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 1963, and the workload for a roadie like Evans was undoubtedly grueling.
According to The Beatles Anthology, Evans very specifically recalled Lennon’s beloved “Jumbo” guitar, and its unfortunate fate.
Lennon himself, in an interview printed in The Beatles Monthly in January of 1966, acknowledged that the guitar went missing sometime during that 16-day run of shows in Finsbury, but he didn’t know about it until after they’d completed the string of shows.
“George and I often took a jumbo with us, so nobody noticed until the end of the season that one was missing,” Lennon said. “A week or two afterwards I asked Mal where he’d put my jumbo. It was only then that we realized the guitar had been pinched, at Finsbury Park. No, I never got it back.”
“I honestly don’t think so,” Babiuk continued. “Personally I think the next band that came in and did a show there – and it could have been any one of the other big bands that were playing that same circuit at that time – they probably found the guitar, said, ‘Hey, this is a cool guitar,’ and took it home with them. They obviously had no idea what they had or who’s it was. But maybe they did, and knowing the karma that exists between musicians maybe they traded it for something else because they didn’t https://tilonlysilenceremains.com/the-beatles-guitars-johns-guitars/
John Lennon played 325s and their assorted variants during the 1960s 
(Including a 12-string made to match his second 325). These instruments gained prominence due to John Lennon's use of a 325 during the early years of The Beatles. John Lennon's 1958 model was among the very first batch made and has the pre-production feature of a solid top, i.e., no sound hole.
Nicknamed "Hamburg", this guitar was modified with Bigsby vibrato and nonstandard control knobs. Lennon used this guitar during their first public appearance of the Ed Sullivan Show.
Epiphone casino John used this guitar from 1965 until early in his solo career. Its original finish was sunburst but he later had it stripped.
