In 1968, Fender built two all-rosewood Telecasters and sent one to George Harrison (the other was to go to Jimi Hendrix). George immediately bonded with the instrument and played it heavily on Abbey Road, Let it Be, and even for his guitar parts on Cream's "The Badge." But it was the Beatles' final concert on the roof that cemented that guitar as one of the most important in rock history. After George's death, the original was sold back to the Harrison estate for nearly $500,000. But now you can make this recreation your very own.

The process of building the Fender Custom Shop George Harrison Tribute Rosewood Telecaster took unparalleled care in being respectful of even the tiniest details of George's original guitar. The body and neck are both multi-piece rosewood, with a maple spacer in the body. And the Custom Shop went so far as to bring the famed Abigail Yabarra out of retirement to hand wind the pickups exactly like they were on George's '68. Even the logo was considered, placing it a little further back and above the guitar's finish, just like George's.

Right now is your chance to own this ground-breaking guitar. But with only 100 being made for world-wide distribution, they will be sold out before you know it. Only 40 of these solidbody electric guitars are allocated to North America, making their availability even more scarce. But Sweetwater was been able to get our hands on three of these beauties for you. So give us a call right away to secure your piece of guitar, rock 'n' roll, and Beatles history. Now is your time to own a guitar that changed the world.
