@Wendy Black I have a solid rosewood Telecaster, however it is not a signature model just a straight up solid rosewood body and neck. It is easily one of my most favorite guitars. Compared to a Pine body Telecaster I have the tone is very different. I find the overall tone to be very dark sounding (for a Telecaster). My advice to anyone who wants a solid rosewood Telecaster would be to play one first as they do sound different (at least mine does and it’s the only one I’ve ever tried). Weight is also a factor as some species of rosewood are so dense they do not float in water! My rosewood Telecaster is solid (no weight relief) and tips the scales at 11 Pounds 5 Ounces.

If he charged too much consistently over time he'd have gone out of business long ago. With on-line shopping and sites like reverb I would imagine he would need to remain competitive to keep his business open for so long.

George and John both wanted a Strat, that is why Mal Evans came back with two. Before 1965 it was literally impossible to find American guitars in the UK due to trade restrictions, so going out and buying a Fender was something really special at the time.

Actually the first Stratocasters that ever came to England came in December 1964 and only 13 Stratocasters. So George got his first Stratocaster in December 1964. As the Beatles picken up 2 of the 13 Stratocasters. Then for the rest of his life George Harrison almost Exclusively recorded with a Fender Stratocaster. He wanted one in 1956. He tried to buy a Stratocaster in 1956 but because of the US embargo there was not one Fender Stratocaster available in Liverpool. Thats Why George Said ” If I’d had it my way the Stratocaster would have been my first guitar”.

Thanks for the in-depth video, Trogly. I'm a Beatles nut and a Fender fanboy, but I don't think I would drop $25k on that guitar (even if I HAD the money to spend). Thanks for letting us live vicariously through you. The actual reason why they got two Sonic Blue Strats is because both George and John wanted a Strat, and Brian Epstein said that if they both got the same color, he would pay for them (thinking matching guitars would look good on stage, to go with their matching outfits). The guitar solo in "Nowhere Man" is George and John playing in unison on their new Strats. It would seem that Lennon also acquired a black Strat (with a matching headstock) a little later. There are photos of John playing it when the Beatles were rehearsing for their last tour ('66). Nobody knows where it came from, or if he actually owned it, or borrowed it from somebody. Not sure why he would need to borrow a Strat for a rehearsal, but there's no other photographic evidence of him playing it.

The George Harrison Telecasters you talked about (Masterbuilt from 2016) had serial numbers like this "GH 023" so I wonder if they started the Rocky's as "GHR 101" to continue the sequence without having duplicates?

It really does make a difference. You will be hard pressed to find Abby pickups. I have some of her Protégé's. Josefina Campos. Abby trained her for a few years for when she retired and they are basically the same. They sound amazing. They are expensive but worth it. I have them in my 59 CS Strat and my 51 Nocaster. They are both winds for the appropriate years. The harmonics that come out of these pickups is beautiful. As you just experienced. My Tele is a 19' and the Strat is a 20'. I can vouch for their work in those years. As do almost anyone that plays or owns them. Bout time you got a real Vintage CS relic Fender on here.

The crack is actually a paint crack,it's done by inserting a tall scrw and then pushing the screw against the grain which just cracks the paint and not the wood,you got great videos

Thank you for documenting this. I was blown away by the detail the Harrison estate put in to it, along with Fender. I wouldn't sell it right away, I could tell you liked it too much. Now, you have to get a good replica mid 1960s Fender amp to go with it. I think that's what George was using then.

Yep, 1964 Fender Twin. Superb amps.

The reason the guitar was rarely seen live during The Beatles days was because they stopped touring in 1966.

Lennon played his Strat on the December 1965 UK tour but Harrison didn't, he used a Gibson ES 330.

I think you see John's on the documentary he made about his solo album and George comes on and plays a solo on it. How cool to see so many guitar freaks out there..

George is by far my favorite Beatle, and that says something knowing they're all legends.

I've been a HUMONGUS Beatle fan my entire life, in and out of Tributes and everything.....as much as I love them, and George, could never see spending the $25,000 to just about have it either stay in a display case, OR in the stock case! Either way, thanks for doing it for me Trog!

I've always loved Harrison's Rocky Strat. And I love that miniature version of Rocky... that's so cool! That's an exceptional sounding Strat, from what I can tell from a KZbin video.

I’m a lefty so I painted a Rocky Strat myself and I am very happy with it although I wish I could get my hands on some deglow paint. But now I want the accessories!!

I love those mini guitars. I have one of Claptons Fool. I have an Explorer that I turned into a Christmas tree ornament, and one I modified to make it look like a mini version of my Gretsch Jet Club. Like a Mini Me for my Gretsch.
