That pic with the Ovation is not Beatles' era ..... must be Double Fantasy or perhaps Imagine.

Looks "Double Fantasy" to me.

From my 'Recording the Beatles' book... Hey Jude was mixed on 5 Dec 69 in room 4 in abbey road studios.  Other equipment used was the RS56 UTC Curve Bender EQ used by Ken Scott to salvage some the mix that was recorded in the recording room in Trident Studios on 31 Jul-7 Aug 68. The AKG D19c was used on early acoustic guitar takes of the song, and on many other recordings.  Mixed using Tannoy speakers in Lockwood cabinets.  Lots of stories in the book associated with the studio speakers and the recording/mixing using the first Trident 8 track mixer in London at the time, including how they were fighting with EMI to use their first 8 track recorder, but used Trident because it became available for their use first.  Took quite some time just to look up the details for this one song... tried to summarize the info, but the mixing and recording details are so convoluted I may not have relayed it properly.

I happen to be very meticulous about project notes. Along with score sheets, track notes, exc.
I even created my own abbreviation system (if your interested you can read this)

I was remixing a song a few months back and I couldn't believe how sparkly and chiming the acoustic guitar sounded, I went back to my project notes and saw that it was nothing more than brand new strings. 
Never under estimate the power of new strings my friend.

Thanks to everyone.  All the input here is great. 
 There are some submitted ideas I can try short of renting time at EMI. 



At least you could use their mouse pad.  It might help!
