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 modified the guitar quite a bit, then auctioned it off in 2003 and was purchased by Olivia Harrison back to the family estate, also restoring it back to original state..
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.
