360 12 String Rickenbacker
| George Harrison was the first
guitar player that ever influenced me, I was 14 years old when the Beatles came
on Ed Sullivan and my world was changed forever. I moved on to Jeff Beck, &
Leslie West and Jimmy Page but years later I came back to really appreciating
the incredible talent that was George Harrison. George was my favorite
Beatle and ironically the only one of them I never actually met face to
face. Today almost 40 years later I am amazed every time I listen to the early Beatle tracks. Remember, George Harrison was the youngest of the Beatles and was only 19 when he was recording all those great songs in the early 60's. I cannot imagine how and where he learned to play so well.

George's original Country Gentleman was brown. Many people (including myself) thought it was black. After all, we all saw the Beatles on black & white TV. Plus, brown isn't a very rock n' roll color. Above a picture of George with a refinished black Gretsch Country Gentleman. Ed Roman has made a special arrangement with Gretsch to build this guitar in this color. They will be available in June 0f 2004... reserve yours now because they will be limited. This guitar is referred to as the Ed Sullivan Commemorative Ed Roman Available & In Stock @ Ed Roman's Guitar Shop |
