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 :).

The only ad I see voluntarily. Great Harrison, unmatched talent. ♥ ️

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!!

George is one of the most underrated artist and guitar players

Shit getting real when Abby has to get out of retirement.

An absolutely stunning recreation of George's absolutely ghastly original paint job!

[maxwellgordon]

George was such a gentleman & such a great guitarist.

I often wondered why Fender hadn't made a guitar in George's memory . Looks a great job Well done Fender...from a mad Harrison fan.

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!

George Harrison may have been the ‘quiet’ Beatle, but his guitar playing definitely had a unique sound.

[letfreedomring]

It's definitely going to become a collectors item, with so few being made.

That birds-eye maple neck looks magnificent

MIM Version of the Rocky Strat would sell so quickly

[MegaSilverBlood]

[halfaddercircuit]

Paul waller has reached the god level of building custom guitars. Great job.❤️

[lucaconstantinescu]

I mean...I'm a Les Paul guy, but that Strat is just from another world

[stevenmgyori]

Well done Fender! Nice to give some love to George! Might have to sell a few toys for this one!
Be Well All!
