GEORGE'S GUITAR GETS RUN OVER - Weird Moments in Beatles History #5

George Harrison's Gretsch guitar fell off their touring car and was run over by multiple trucks (or lorries, as they say in Britain). But what Gretsch was it? Both of Harrison's main Gretsches, the '63 Country Gentleman and Tennessean, disappeared around this same time. It's long been assumed that the Country Gentleman was smashed during this event - but I'm not so sure anymore. Have we been wr...

Why did Lennon choose to play Harrison's rarely seen Rickenbacker 425 for one show in 1964? Here's the story! I may do a longer video about Harrison's 425 in the future, but just to add some details - it was later modified (extra pickup, extra switch, etc.) and the instrument was sold at auction in 2014 for $657,000 USD. The Rickenbacker 425 was apparently used on "I Want to Hold Your Hand" - w...

    Yeah the black Strat is definitely a source of curiosity. During the Rubber Soul recording sessions, Mal was sent out to get two strats for John & George and both were painted ‘Sonic Blue.’ While I’m not sure what became of John’s, I do know from books I have that George repainted his with various things (including some of Patties nail polish). Anyway, it just seems curious as to why John would have the black strat when he already had one on hand. I won’t go into conspiracy theories about what became of his prior one but we’ll probably never know the full story behind it.

    I remember a picture from years ago of George with the Travelling Wilburys and they are all holding guitars. Tom Petty is holding a Country Gent! Could it be one of the missing ones? I'm sure I read somewhere that the picture was taken at George's house and they were all holding one of his guitars each just for the photo shoot. Could you track down this photo to see if you can get the serial number of the guitar?

    Well George Harrison used his Fender Stratocaster for 90 to 95 % of the songs he played electric guitar on after receiving it in late 1964. It was his absolute main guitar from Help untill the last album. The guitar George Harrison called ” The worst guitar I have ever played ” the Rosewood Telecaster was not used on Let it be. George rerecorded his guitar parts with his Fender Stratocaster Rocky before releasing the album. The only reason George used the Rosewood Telecaster on the Rof top concert was because he knew the police was going to come and possibility take their equipment. So he took the guitar he really hated ( tThe Rosewood Telecaster ) and used that one. The police could take that one. He gave it away almost directly after the rooftop concert to Delany Bramlet Anyway. George Harrison played a Telecaster. Once in his caree for less than a week than a week before throwing it out the studio. The Fender Stratocaster though was George Harrisons absolute favourite guitar from 1956 untill he died. The reason you dont see the Beatles on stage or in videos with Stratocasters ( songs that were recorded with a Stratocaster which in Georges part was almost all) is that Fender tried to bribe the Beatles manager Brian Epstein who got furious at Fender, and forbid The Beatles to use Stratocasters in public. In the studio Brian Epstein allowed George Harrison to use the Fender Stratocaster as much as he wanted though, and George cerainly did. From the day in the end of 1964 when he finally got his belowed Fender Stratocaster untill he died George Harrison almost exclusively recorded with the Fender Stratocaster. George Harrison tried to buy a Fender Stratocaster in 1956, but because of a US embargo Stratocasters did not exist in England. A very dissapointed George Harrison who had been painting Fender Stratocasters for hours everyday in school as a 12-13 year old boy instead of listening to the teachers had to settle for a Stratocaster copy called Futurama. George continued to try to Find a Stratocaster the years 1957 to 1963 but They were impossible to find in England or Hamburg. Even a tripp to his sister who lived in US in 1963 was unsucessful because her city did not sell Fender guitars. Finally in approximadely September to December 1964 England imported 13 Fender Stratocasters and George bought one of them. At his death They accounted he owned 350 Fender Stratocasters. Stratocasters he had bought himself because The Beatles had a policy of not allowing sponsorship. He was Happy though to be interviewed for 7 days for the official Fender Stratocaster book for 7 days, a book he as a Beatle got the lion part of. George Harrison is considered the biggest fan of the Fender Stratocaster of all musicians.

One comment about the Bm to A guitar stabs - to my ears he is not playing a full Bm but leaving the B string open....I do not hear the D note that the full chord would give you - but I do hear the open B string. I could be wrong but that's what I hear.
