So I’m a lefty and broke as hell so I bought a $275 white strat style guitar so I could paint it. I got a picture of the original and flipped the image in post and created the first left handed Rocky Strat. I had so much fun doing it and i think it looks great :).
Haha... I did the same. My wife is a graphic artist and an absolute genius at matching colors. I took my 1993 American Standard (originally black) and she hand painted the mirror image of Rocky. Came out absolutely stunning. So much more authentic than the Fender finish because its not a perfect even glossy body -- it has real texture. Bumps and valleys in the paint just like George's. You can only get that by hand painting.
Hey I have a question I wanna design my own strat like George’s but I don’t wanna mess it Up, did you sand your strat down and take all the hardware out or did you just paint away because I can’t tell what he did
I Love this idea!! George had a sound that was recognized if you were listening to a song?? You knew if it was a George Harrison song. I don't think people should try to be like Georg Harrison?? but have the opportunity to be able to use his sound to mix it up. I Love George Harrison and no one could replace him or his music. I am a George Harrison Fan until I leave this world!!
Probably not that difficult...if you want to practice. George used either the same Les Paul or Strat the majority of the time, and played little else but slide. Probably tuned in E (I think. I hope somebody who remembers will correct me if I'm wrong).
He did what all four of them did: he put himself second to the song. It's one of several ways that they were by far the best band. When it came to making records, nobody was a hot dog... not even the lead guitarist.
So glad to Fender finally tackle this one. I did a version of Rocky myself using a Squier SE model (full thickness body and neck) and it turned out great! I used the big photo in the Tony Bacon Guitars of the '60's book as reference as well as someone's screen grabs from the George Harrison guitar app that Dhani showed off a few years ago. I wasn't concerned with getting every color super exact but I approximated and got it good enough for me. And yes, man are there a lot of colors! Including Pattie Boyd's sparkle green nail polish! The hard part is that the day glo neon colors aren't as bright as modern neon which would look too weirdly bright to me. I simply sanded down the original finish, sprayed it white (for color pop), sprayed it Sonic blue, and then did the custom artwork. I also added a three ply pickguard painted as well. It was really fun to do and I enjoyed it a bunch! Be-bop-a-lula and go cat go!
I never thought they’d be granted the authority to make it. But now the Harrison family has authorized the Duo Jet, Lucy, Rosewood Telecaster, and Rocky. How cool :).

Haha, you're not wrong! It is pretty ghastly, but treated like ancient Egyptian treasure these days. I thought that Paul's paint job on his Rickenbacker bass at the same time looked stunning though.
Stole my comment! He plays it in the live in Chicago concert videos for a few songs I think. It makes sense because obviously he is a huge George Harrison fan/disciple. Makes me want to get some dayglo paint and do up my squire strat 😬
It's an amazing repro of a very complex design. I think John and George played their Strats in unison on 'Nowhere Man', making them sound almost like a twelve-string!
@@s2seltaeb Fender introduced the 5-way only in 1977, till then guitarists would jam the switch into the in-between position to get that "out-of-phase" sound (I know, I know, it's NOT really out of phase...). I remember perfectly well when by I hit the switch by accident and it got stuck in the in-between position 3&4...I was totally surprised, but I LOVED that sound. Must have been around 1965 (I was 17 then and played Beatles covers with my college band). That's probably what the Beatles did on their "Nowhere Man" recording.
Charles Hoernemann I personally think at least one of them could have been on the bridge pickup for Nowhere Man. As for the 5-way switch, I bet GH installed that at some point in the mid-80s. He seemed to like position 2 in the Cloud Nine era.
The guitar is great, but at that pricepoint I can go out, get a real 60s Strat and do it myself. I mean it's Custom Shop and stuff, but man that price...
Years ago I tried my hand at it. I had real dayglo paint from late 60s-early 70s and a stripped strat copy. I suck at drawing and had to do a lot of tracing, and I didn't even try to get the hardware and pickups exact (though I had a pickup winder and a lot of possible wiring diagrams off the Internet. Long story short, I gave it to a friend at Christmas and he liked it a lot. Later I made another. The guy was happy and I put the profits toward a "Chibson" copy of George's red Les Paul, which was what I REALLY wanted. The point? This sort of modding is a lot easier than you might think, if you let your desire for authenticity be governed by your budget. All it takes is detective work and trial and error.
@@polmccartknee3792 Hey man, more power to you. I happen to believe the idea behind guitars like this is crass and cynical to the extreme. There's something almost PT Barnum about it.
Honestly the Billie Eilish uke is genius. It'll get younger people playing fenders and if they want to start playing guitar they'll be more likely to play a fender because of the name recognition. Guitar is changing and evolving.
@@moonchild4806 but it's 300 dollars for some shit uke. Sure you could argue "premium material" or some other stuff but it's still a uke. Hell the thing that bothers me is that it will probably go wild with VSCO girls and we'll end up with Fender keeping at the road of constant sell out, bad decision making, and shit products. You know what you can get where I live for 300 grand? A Steve Vai sig. There's a difference between a solid electric guitar that relies on it's electronics and specs to be considered good but in my view close to none for uke's since they all rely on tonewood and other acoustic stuff you could get at a lower price with a better paint job. I just don't want Fender to keep making shit moves and instead keep pushing bounderies in the innovation of the guitar and other strings
@@doctorpoopypants2424 Yeah, but I don't think you realize that it's not for you. An electric ukulele for one of the biggest pop stars in the world is not going to appeal to the market of people who just want to see strats and teles from fender. I feel like the Tenor Tele showed perfectly that there's a market for non traditional things as they're all sold out everywhere. The generation of guitarists that just want black strats and sunburst les pauls is diminishing.
@@doctorpoopypants2424 Fender will always make teles and strats. I guarantee in 40 years we'll be looking at late 10s early 20s instruments and seeing them for the gems they were, much like we're seeing with the 70s and 80s guitars now.
Having mixed feelings about that...I was already around in 1967 playing Beatles and Cream covers with my band and of course when George Harrison painted his guitar many other guitarists did the same (me included 😉). Like Hendrix with his Monterey Strat. And Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce of course, who had their G***on SG and Fender Bass VI painted by The Fool Collective in the Netherlands. So it was a common thing in those years of Psychadelia and Flower Power. 25 Grand? C'mon, it's only a repainted Strat...just my 2 cents...
I guessed $10,000. So yeah, 25 is overkill. I like the idea of a replica, but not at a non-replica type price. I worry that Fender is raising their prices due in part to the Game Of Thrones line. Then I saw the Limited Edition Strat and Tele with the cool fretboard for $2500, and I started thinking Fender is losing their way. Especially when you consider their flagship line is less expensive. They seem to be charging more money for less guitar these days. I hope whomever is making these decisions will stop and revert to how they were pricing 2 years ago. Fender is my go-to, but if they continue down this road, I'm not sure myself and others will stay. Fender is the "working-class" brand that also makes custom shop guitars. I'd hate to see it leave that position. I'm all for innovation and custom work, but it shouldn't mean a price hike across the board and sacrificing bang for the buck in the non custom lines. I'd love to see more options in the mod shop (like a curved heel), fancy fretboards, things of that nature. Maybe some custom package options like an era reissue with period correct guitar, amp, and pedal packages. Those two ideas would generate a lot of great revenue. I love the company, the innovation, the R&D; all of it. I just hope they don't forget us.
It's like replicating the paint and canvas used to paint the mona lisa. And selling it as an expensive kit. George used that guitar to create timeless art.
I still don't get why guitarists are now used to buy their idols guitars instead of working on their own sound and their own instrument. Is it so hard to become someone?
Agree with some comments here. If you’ve got the dough and collect, it might be fun to have. No matter what though, it isn’t going to make you sound like George
A rich mans' guitar. Or, rather, a rich George Harrison fans' guitar. Not a thing wrong with that. It looks very well done for what it is. I was never a fan of spontaneous paint over guitar bodies given the beauty of many/most OEM finishes.
Old news but remember the story of one of George's doctors at the end of his life asking him to sign a guitar for his son, which George did saying, "I'm not sure I can write my own name anymore." Sure, George was very witty but still says to me he was very sick. POS doctor sold it. Family sued to get it back. If I were Olivia or Dhani I'd spend whatever it took to get it back just for the pleasure of burning the damn thing.
@@LazyLizzy706 The doctor did wrong but I think you’re embellishing this. I read all about it and I never read anything about the doctor refusing to treat George if he didn’t sign it. George was very ill and he did press him to do it. I also don’t buy that he never wanted to be famous.
@@kingofallwhites “I wanted to be successful, not famous.” -George Harrison Are you going to tell me you know more than what George said and go on to say he wanted to be famous.

Rickenbacker twelve-string guitars were scarce in the early sixties. The Searchers recorded 'Needles and Pins' playing two six-string guitars in unison to get that 12-string sound.
@Aharon Chan I was thinking the exact same thing! It does speak to the depth of care these craftspeople take to these projects. I say they should make some “Abby wound mine!” T-shirts! :-)
I am not deaf but I use closed captions often. It is convenient if there are competing sounds around. It is also useful for someone who is not fluent in English. (Also, I didn't have captions on when I watched this- maybe the CC button was clicked for you?)
According to what I know, this Fender Blue Sonic 1961, is the sister of the one that John Lennon in the tune "How do you sleep" take raw was played by George. Those Guitars was Bought by Brian Epstein. A contribution to knowing!!!!!

$25,000???? Damn!!
I love you george
lmao, at this point abby is full time out of retirement
@Aharon Chan I was thinking the exact same thing! It does speak to the depth of care these craftspeople take to these projects. I say they should make some “Abby wound mine!” T-shirts! :-)

Good video
Que agradable sujeto!! Quien recuerda esta frase y de donde
Why does fender always have captions on? I don’t think any deaf people would wanna watch this
I am not deaf but I use closed captions often. It is convenient if there are competing sounds around. It is also useful for someone who is not fluent in English. (Also, I didn't have captions on when I watched this- maybe the CC button was clicked for you?)
So pleasing.......
Hallucinationsss!!!! Master Harrison!!!!
What would you want one for?
I love George Harrison, he's my favorite Beatle!!!!♡♡
I wish i was here!):
Cool. i'll take one. How much are they? HOW MUCH?!
The only good ad
I must say, it looks really cool
According to what I know, this Fender Blue Sonic 1961, is the sister of the one that John Lennon in the tune "How do you sleep" take raw was played by George. Those Guitars was Bought by Brian Epstein. A contribution to knowing!!!!!
They were bought by their road manager Mel Evans.
Geande george ❤😭
