Description:
Stratocaster® guitars were almost impossible to find in England in the late 1950s and early 1960s, so when George Harrison actually found one in a shop during the pre-fame early days of the Beatles, he meant to get it but was scooped by the guitarist for Rory Storm and the Hurricanes (whose drummer went by the stage name Ringo Starr).In 1967, sometime between the end of the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band sessions and the June 25 live worldwide telecast of "All You Need is Love", Harrison took up paint and brush himself to give his Stratocaster a multicolored psychedelic dayglo paint job. It also appeared prominently in the "I Am the Walrus" segment of 1967's Magical Mystery Tour film. The guitar remained a favorite of Harrison's for the rest of the decade, and by December 1969 Harrison had painted "Bebopalula" on the upper body, "Go Cat Go" on the pickguard and "Rocky" - the guitar's nickname - on the headstock.
