George Harrison Was Extremely Upset When This Rare Guitar Sold Out
George Harrison played 26 instruments. But in his early days of being a musician, the guitar was all he thought about. When he was just becoming proficient in the instrument, he dreamed of the day when he’d finally have one of the most coveted guitars in all of Liverpool. It took a lot of searching, but George eventually got the holy grail of guitars. In the very early days of The Beatles (pre-Ringo, to be exact), George didn’t like his sound. At the time, he had a Vox amp and a Gretsch guitar, but that equipment just wasn’t doing anything for him. He was thankful he had a guitar, though, because they weren’t cheap in those days. However, George still really wanted a Fender Stratocaster, which back then was highly coveted. American-made guitars were tough to find in England in the late 1950s.
