INFO:

Replica of the Rosewood Strat Fender gave to George Harrison. Famously used on the Beatles last 1969 Rooftop concert.  This is a guitar Harrison did not really like because it was too heavy. He gave it away in 1969 to Delaney Bramlet who then auctioned it off later on. It was bought by Harrisons widow in the end.

Jimi Hendrix was also to receive a Rosewood Strat made in the same batch at the time as the Harrison Tele, but he died before that could happen.
