- Hey everybody. I'm Allen Abassi from Fender.
Let's take a look at the stunning
George Harrison Rocky Stratocaster.
George Harrison's impact and influence on popular music
is unparalleled.
Known for pushing musical boundaries
and Sonic experimentation, George's inventive hooks
and groundbreaking tones helped propel the Beatles
into legendary status.
George played a variety of iconic guitars
throughout his career, but the most visually
distinctive was his 1961 Sonic blue Stratocaster.
George acquired the guitar in 1965
which was hand painted in psychedelic day glow colors
and affectionately named Rocky.

The George Harrison Rocky Stratocaster features
an Alder body lovingly hand painted with a replica
of Harrison's famous psychedelic brush strokes.
Every last detail is captured from the artwork
on the pick guard and plastic parts,
to a replica decal on the back of the headstock
from the original music store where the guitar
was purchased.

that hearkens back to Fender's golden age
A mid '60's C shaped maple neck

Finally, the Rocky Strat features a vintage style
synchronized tremolo and tuners,
which provide the look and feel
of a classic Fender instrument.
