Throughout his career, George Harrison played a variety of guitars, among them a psychedelic-looking Fender Stratocaster, a “fireglo” Rickenbacker 360 12-string and a black Gretsch Duo Jet (which he considered to be his first real decent guitar).
Those particular instruments — and many more — are part of a new Harrison guitar app for the iPad that will be available via the Apple iTunes store starting Feb. 23.
The Guitar Collection: George Harrison’ is a joint project from the estate of the late Beatles legend and Bandwith Publishing. The app, which will cost $9.99, features 360-degree imaging by photographer Steven Sebring that allows users to see each item from the private collection in great detail. The stories behind each guitar — the circumstances of their acquisition and the significance of the modifications Harrison made — are well documented.
