If you're not over 65 years old, you weren't there for Beatlemania. You only read about it or saw old videos. The first time I saw the Beatles was on Ed Sullivan I was 16. (Watching the Beatles and also Elvis on Ed Sullivan was amazing. There was not one kid on my block not sitting at home watching TV). If you were not born before 1954 (and you would have been ten years old when the Beatles played Ed Sullivan) SHUT UP! j/k But that's why you think "And I Love Her" is called "Who Put The Bomb in the Bomb Shu Bomp Shu Bomp" and why you think every Fender Custom Color is either Sonic Blue, Seafoam Green or Olympic White lol.

So according to an online inflation/currency exchange calculator, £15 in 1960 comes out to over $400 today, and £260 comes out to around $7500. That sort of puts those price tags in perspective if anyone else was curious.

I was wondering the same. From what I've seen, the average UK weekly wage in 1960 was around £13, but people probably earned considerably less in Liverpool and the north of England, especially in manual labour jobs. I seem to remember my dad saying he earned £5 a week [as a coach painter/sign writer] the year my parents married in Manchester in 1964. I know that the first home they bought, a 3 bedroom terraced house in a decent area, cost £1,000 in 1966. So £70 for George's guitar in 1960 was a substantial chunk of change.

Thanks for sharing ! What a great history of their instruments!

My mother assembled John Lennon’s, 1964 Rickenbacker Guitar. My mother... Dorothy J. Tandle was working at (RIC) Electro Strings Rickenbacker Guitars back in February 1964 in Santa Ana California. There was only 10 employees at the time and two woman. Mom was the first woman factory worker hired at Rickenbacker. Francis C. Hall, CEO of Ric had the idea to meet with the Beatles when they came to do the Ed Sullivan Show and give them some new guitars. Mr. Hall gave Harrison a new twelve string guitar when he met them. (assembled by Dotty) When Francis C. Hall got back from N.Y., after talking to John, Paul and Ringo he had a new guitar made for John. F.C. Hall presented Lennon with a new 325 to replace his road weary 1958 one during the group's first trip to New York City. Rush shipped to the Hotel Deauville in Miami where it was used for the second performance in "Ed Sullivan Show" on February 16th. Nicknamed at the factory… “Miami Special” John used the new guitar on The Beatles second Sullivan appearance and on the group's subsequent tours and albums. The phone rang at our house at 6:10AM with the GM of Ric Ward Deaton asking if my mom could come in ASAP to work on a special rush order guitar My mother was asked to follow Lennon’s Custom guitar from start to finish. This was the Black & White semi-hollow bodied “Miami” model (serial number db122, d=1964, b=Feb.). After the woodshop cut out the body, she sanded the body, then worked on the neck & fret board, then she assembled the guitar after the finish was applied. She did all the work herself. She did the same for many custom orders at that time. She was trained in all areas except the wood shop and finishes. She did all the sanding, fret board assembly, hand cut the pick guard, electronics soldering and put all the other pieces on John Lennon’s Custom 325. John’s 325 was the first one with the fifth black tone knob. Mom said she was surprised at how small the guitar was and asked if it was a child’s model because it is so little compared to the Ric Bass.. She liked John’s guitar because it didn’t have an f hole or edge binding to fuss with. I don’t know how long it took to assemble the guitar, but I know she said it is all that mom worked on that day in February 1964. After finishing the guitar, she gave it to the tuner/inspector. He was a good friend and gave mom a ride home three times per week. He asked my mother “Since you built it, what song would you like to hear?” My mother said…“Peanut Butter And Jelly”. That was a song she wrote and the tuner knew the cords. My mother sang the song as it was being played. SO… The very first song ever played on John Lennon’s famous 325 was a song my mother wrote about the messes I made as a child. There is a “GREEN” check mark inside the guitar. The guitar assembled in February 1964 by Dotty custom made specially for John to replace his 1958 model 325 “Capri“ was dropped and the head was damaged, later repaired.. It now hangs on display at the Rock N Roll HOF. It is priceless. John’s “Miami” was replaced with a “1996” Fire-glo model from the Rickenbacker London sales rep/dealer Rose-Morris Ltd. My mom “Dotty” made most of special order famous RIC guitars of that era. Harrison‘s, Lennon’s, Townsend’s & McGuinns 12 strings. The first time she had to put strings on a 12 string with the double tuning head style she had to ask Ward (GM) how to do it and it took him three tries to get it right. Harrison’s 360/12 was the second 12 string ever made, but the first with new tuning design and the model the rest were made after making it the real first Production Model. At their New York meeting, Lennon asked Hall to make him a twelve-string model to match his 325, and in March '64, Rickenbacker shipped a 325-12 Jet-glo guitar to him in London. “Dotty gives our guitars the woman’s touch, that’s why they are so sexy looking” - Ward Deaton GM at RIC 1964 Dotty made Bass guitars for Paul McCartney, Paul later painted his left-handed 1964 4001S FG Rickenbacker bass psychedelic. McCartney’s bass was the first left - handed ever made in January 1964. It was given to him in August 64 at the Hollywood Bowl concert.

The Beatles guitars are just so dang cool. All of them really.

Yeah, that's what my house is supposed to look like !!

Paul's Hofner is not the 1964, it's the 1962. His Hofner doesn't have neck binding like the one that was shown in the video. He also had another Hofner which was the 1961 or the Cavern model. Sadly, it got stolen during the Let It Be session.

Extremely impressed! Especially with the early years rare guitars

The rosewood telecaster and stratocaster were extremely heavy. The rosewood telecaster that Elvis Presley returned because it was too heavy weighed in at 13 lb. In 1969, Fender only made one rosewood telecaster, which belonged to George Harrison. Also in 1969 they made only one rosewood stratocaster which was a left-handed model made for Jimi Hendrix. Unfortunately he died before they could deliver it to him, and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since. The rosewood stratocaster never caught on as a production model, so they are even more rare than the rosewood telecasters.

That rosewood tele is just so pretty

Great video guys, I've aways loved the sound of Gretsch guitars. George really showcased the pure beauty of their sound. Thanks for all of the line up coverage here....But truly, out of all the Beatle gear, George had the best taste!

George's Gretsch Duo Jet was never used on the Beatles US tours. He had essentially stopped using it for live gigs sometime in 1963. His Country Gentleman (of which he had two) was his main guitar for the first American visit. For the first extensive American tour in the summer of 1964, he used the Country Gentleman and the Rickenbacker 12-string. The single cutaway Chet Atkins model started to get use in 1965. The orange Gretsch was John's. Also, Paul had start using his Rickenbacker 4001 bass in the studio as early as 1965, even though the Hofner was his touring bass. He used the Rickenbacker for most studio recordings for the remainder of his time in the Beatles and a large percentage of his Wings recordings.

My first guitar was a 1954 Stratocaster I got for Christmas, 1963. It was $75 in a pawn shop. VERY expensive for my family. Good show, guys. You missed one, that probably was a "borrow" guitar ... the ES-345 that George used on "In My Life" and probably a few others.

It’s Gallotone, not Gallatone. Just clarifying for anyone who may want to look it up on Reverb.

Cool looking collection of guitars love this video those early day guitars are extremely rare and hard to find nowadays; it’s a LARGE collection indeed Love this👍♥️

Beautiful collection!

Great collection but the Paul section was lacking in my opinion. He used a Fender Esquire (single pickup tele) which he had strung lefty, and a Fender Jazz bass in sunburst with tortoiseshell pick guard that he both used in recording sessions in 68. Also missing the “cavern” Hofner bass with a slightly different pickup configuration and id want to have one that replicated that same cavern bass when he sent it in to Hofner to have it refreshed, it was seen in the Revolution video and was shortly after stolen. He also used an Epiphone Texan acoustic (also strung lefty), his Casino was my favourite of the 3 as it was slightly earlier with a different headstock and Bigsby, both guitars he still uses today. Would’ve liked to see more post Beatles guitars as well! Paul owned a couple lefty Les Pauls including a gold top that was gifted to him by Linda, a 5 string Wal bass (also a gift from Linda), and a Yamaha BB1200 1979 model as some examples.

awesome tribute beatle mania history. The classical guitar George played on "And I loved her" was the first and only time the use of a nylon string guitar was ever used on a beatle record. Thanks for sharing these great guitars.

Pity you did not play a beatles tune on each guitar - like blackbird - si we can HEAR the difference. Thanks for an eye opening video

PHENOMENAL! 🎸💚

My dad gave me his Hofner Senator. It has the long finger bridge with nylon bridge material giving it a dark earthy tone. It had a hole kicked in the side which I had professionally repaired bringing it back to perfect condition as they built and steam pressed a whole side strip and matched the finish.These days it would cost a small fortune to repair but I paid about £120 in the late 80s for the work to be done when I found out the Beatles used this guitar at some point. The guy I sent it too offered to buy it from me because he said it was rare to find them fully original with old school brass tuners throughout. I declined the offer because It looks so beautifully finished in nitro with some crazing going on. Either that or it is a violin finish which has shrunk a little. The guitar has a very nice oversized overhang on the fretboard which allows the top to move much better giving a fuller tone. Maybe I should have a mic fitted into the body to go acoustic/electric.

George used an Australian Maton Mastersound MS500 in 1963 or 1964, loaned to him by a Manchester music shop, while one of the Gretsch’s was in for repairs. He returned it later

thanks guys!! my favorite youtube video.

Nice video guys, a few slips up here and there but over all, nicely done. Paul's Rick bass that you really glossed over quickly was actually given to Paul in '65. It was used as a backup to the Hofner for a good deal of the '65 tour and all of the '66 tour. Also, it was used more than the Hofner in '66 for recording.

No matter what guitars or gear they used, they always sounded like the Beatles!

Great video! I made a copy of George's Rocky Strat myself. I used a Squier SE model Strat and painted it to match. I did it for fun and I had to have a copy. Funny this one is only painted on the top! One the real one the colors are painted over the sides onto the back. But in the Miller Feeman book Guitars of The Sixties, later reissued as Fuzz And Feedback they have a huge three page centerfold photo of it from the front and back. Also his son Dhani helped develop the George Harrison guitar app that shows 360 views of his most known guitars including this one.

Amazing!

As a massive Beatles fan, I'd love to have that Rick 360/12, Gretsch Tennesseean/Country Gentleman, '65 SG, Rick 4001 and the Lucy Les Paul Standard. George was the first guitarist that made me want to play the instrument in the first place and so many of his guitars (Mainly the Rickenbacker and Gretsches) are honestly ones that I dream of owning someday

About the Gibson J-160E, there's a funny story about that. After the Beatles got signed and got their first advance, both John and George went out to buy the same kind of guitar that their buddy from Hamburg Tony Sheridan was playing. But they didn't know what kind of guitar that was, only that it was a Gibson. So when they went to that store they ordered "Two Gibson electric jumbo guitars." and when the two J-160E's arrived they went "Err that's not right." because the "Gibson electric Jumbo" that Sheridan played was one of THESE! 4.bp.blogspot.com/-7dPwL84BHl8/USBxgp_ryNI/AAAAAAAAHIA/swYzoCT6J30/s400/stuart-with-tony-sheridan.jpg Sheridan played an ES-175. So why didn't George and John tell the store that they got the order wrong, why did they accept the guitars they got? The answer is simple: because the J-160E is actually very similar to another guitar that Tony Sheridan played. The Martin D-18E i.guim.co.uk/img/static/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2013/2/18/1361193874054/Tony-Sheridan-right-006.jpg?width=700&quality=85&auto=format&fit=max&s=b91e94c1af03214c3b9f5547a25d8272 But imagine how those early Beatles recordings would have sounded if John and George got the ES-175's?

I have heard this story before but you give it in much more detail. I think it's true they did make a mistake and thank god. The Beatles in their cavern hamburg days were a rock n roll band so their is no way they would gave splashed out on big acoustics. But the j 160e basically gave us those wonderful songs and the cherished sound through John's rhythm playing. The J160e in its self was not a great guitar. A plywood top and pick up they never actually used. But it did have a good neck and yeh it did the job.

superb !

The Ramirez guitar you show is a Flamenca guitar. George had a Ramirez "classic" on the picture. Great collection, great presentation, as usual on Emerald City of beautiful guitars. Thanks.

Nylon saddles on casinos makes quite a bit of difference in tone. I put them on one of mine and it brightened right up dramatically. The original 60s’ Gibson ES models and casinos had nylon saddles, as do the ones they’re showing here. Interestingly though, my 65’ Elitist reissue (not the Lennon version) has nickel saddles, but still sounds absolutely biblical nonetheless. They’re my favorite guitars to play; light and extremely versatile.

Awesome.

George did not use the Gretsch duo jet on the first US tour. He used a Gretsch Country Gentleman exclusively.
