Beatles music coming to Rock Band
DVICE Atom Feed — ... those instruments the Beatles played. So will there be Vox amps like you see in the Abbey Road studios in the pic above? Paul's Hofner bass, George's Gretsch guitar, or John's Rickenbacker? We'll have to wait until 9/9/09 (will the time of day be One After 9:09?) to find out.

The e-mail also mentions other "custom" content, which we are hoping will be either a Rickenbacker guitar like the one Lennon often used or a gigantic Harrison-esque moustache / beard combo.
