"The Rickenbacker 325 and Gretsch Duo Jet, played by John Lennon and George Harrison allegedly throughout their respective careers, are set to go on sale when the game launches in September for $100 bucks a pop. For those of you playing along at home, that equates to $250 for the full "premium" bundle plus another $200 for both of these guitars, altogether adding up to a whopping $450 for you serious Beatles fans. We spoke with Mariana Agathoklis at MTV Games this morning who said, "These guitars are really for the hardcore fans."

New info from IGN!!!

June 1, 2009 - Today at the Microsoft Press Conference Rock Band Beatles was on display.

Set for a September 9 release, the game features 45 Beatles classics reworked specifically for the game. MTV Games revealed ten of the tracks:

I Saw Her Standing There
I Want to Hold Your Hand
I Feel Fine
Day Tripper
Taxman
I Am the Walrus
Back in the USSR
Octopus's Garden
Here Comes the Sun
Get Back

On top of the in-game songs, full Beatles albums will be made available for download. The first of these, Abbey Road, is expected shortly after The Beatles: Rock Band is released.
