Electric guitar featuring Rosewood Body, Rosewood Neck, Rosewood Fingerboard, 2 single coil pickups all in the Name Of George.
Get Back!! Peter Jackson-Five-Man Electrical Band-Stand!!
One of the most iconic electric guitars from the late 60's! Time to Let It Be yours!
Thank you Peter Jackson... not for the cigarettes (different Peter Jackson, apparently), and not for the Movies but yes... for A movie... the Beatles Get Back!
Because of "Get Back", the interest in George Harrison's Rosewood Telecaster grew and Fender decided to do a limited run of the George Harrison Rosewood Telecaster but with a twist!
While all of the other re-issue Rosewood Telecasters, and the Production models in the last 1960's were glossy, this is a Satin/Matte finish - just like the original 2 prototypes (one of which belonged to George) Yes, the original was a matte/satin type finish - more like a raw Rosewood, but was later modified/glossed over.
The twist, you ask, is in the form of a Chambered body.
The original Rosewood Telecaster, and it's re-issues, were quite heavy...
"Fender took great care in the process of building the George Harrison Telecaster to remain respectful of George's original guitar. The body and neck are both multi-piece rosewood with a maple spacer in the body. And Fender went so far as to load American Vintage '64 Gray-bottom single-coil pickups into the guitar, nailing the tone and vibe of the original. However, the guitar's chambered body does away with the anchor weight of the original design. Pull this guitar out of its case, and there will be no question who your greatest guitar inspiration is."
This used limited guitar is in Mint condition (!) It's like N.O.S. - New Old Stock and comes with original shipping box. Still has the hang tags, box, and plastic on the pickgaurd!
