George Harrison

George Harrison was the first guitar player that ever influenced me, I was 14 years old when the Beatles came on Ed Sullivan & my world was changed forever. I moved on to Jeff Beck, & Leslie West & 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 played many different guitars, But the Gretsch is the one that personifies the famous Beatles sound.

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.

Ed Roman has made a special arrangement with Gretsch to build this guitar in this color.
