Actually, that just seems wrong to me. I doubt it was his. First thing that comes to mind is perhaps it is Luther Perkins'.

John & George were also known to own a few strats behind the scenes and pictured playing them @ Abbey Road for sessions and they also played through Fender Showmans from what my book says "Beatles Gear by Andy Babiuk" but that photo above seems to be more of a jam and not John's Jazzmaster or this book would have mentioned it but it's a cool thought though.

It looks like there's writing on the guitar.

the above pic has this accompanying text, translated:

"During a break while shooting the beatles movie "HELP!" John went to the club where Jacky was playing, and joined him on stage. Of course, John turned the volume all the way to the max (the Brittish settings). They played a couple of songs together, untill the club owner ended it becaue of the too high volumes. He figured, he had conracted Jacky, not the Beatles. hahaha."

Jacky und John Lennon (Beatles).
John spielt die Jazzmaster von Jacky.

WÃ¤hrend einer Drehpause zum Beatles-Film "HELP" kam John in den Club
in dem Jacky auftrat und stieg sofort bei ihm ein.
John drehte den VerstÃ¤rker selbstverstÃ¤ndlich voll auf (britische Einstellung).
Sie spielten mehrere Songs zusammen, bis der Clubbesitzer wegen zu grosser
LautstÃ¤rke abbrach.
Er meinte, er habe Jacky engagiert und nicht die Beatles. hahaha!

If he woulda taken a liking to that Jazzmaster we wouldn't be able to buy vintage ones for under $10,000 and the demand for used reissues would be through the roof.
