Which Beatle Guitar Would You Want to Have if You Could Have One?

Had been owned by John Sebastian and Rick Derringer. Clapton bought it in New York and gave it to Harrison in 1968. Harrison named it 'Lucy' after Lucille Ball

 

To sell: Paul's Hoffner.
To keep: George's Rickenbacker 360, first one

 

Yes. One of the Country Gents. He gave the other Gent away.

 

I'll take Paul's Hofner please.

 

You don't see him playing it in You're Gonna Lose That Girl?

 

John Lennon's Epi Casino

 

He's playing his acoustic

 

I think you missed it owlshead as it comes under the 'other' option.

 

George's Les Paul, circa Abbey Road, or the cherry red SG he played on "Paperback Writer"

 

Paul’s Hofner bass - followed closely by George’s Rosewood Tele (which I get first dibs on since I don’t anybody has mentioned it so far...)

 

I knew it was one that he stripped later on.

 

Paul's Hofner bass. Especially being as how I'm left handed.

 

Rocky for sure. Probably played better than any of the rest of the guitars listed being a 1961 Strat, and with that cool paint it stands out on display. I'd be curious how high the action was since he set it up for slide, but I don't mind higher action for lead.

 

John's first Rick with Bigsby, is that the one he used on the first Sullivan show? If so I'll take it.
Which one does Yoko have? A few years ago she loaned it to the RnR Museum in Cleveland.

 

Same here; Here is a nice article about it: George Harrison Talks About His “Rocky” Fender Stratocaster

 

Paul’s Ric, right handed.

And I wouldn’t mind John’s Fender VI bass guitar.

 

I'll take Paul's Zenith model 17 please. Oh wait! That's not a "Beatle" guitar, is it?

 

As a Stratman I had to pick Rocky. It's the one I'd play most.

 

Other.

 

Lots of great guitars obviously. Lots to choose from. I want to add mention of two Gibson electrics George played, the SG Standard I think is on Rain and Paperback Writer, and some others from that period. George also played a Les Paul for awhile there called Lucy, especially during TWA and Abbey Road, and Eric Clapton apparently used it playing the lead on While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

 

That's the one she's got.

And I think it has to be the single most important electric guitar in rock history. Even more than Dylan's Newport Strat, which is saying a lot.

 

I'll take a right-handed nylon string acoustic, assuming they had one. If not, I'll pass.

 

George' s 1967/68 Rosewood Fender Telecaster.

 

Paul's rickenbacker bass & John's Epiphone Casino (but not the stripped down one from the rooftop, love how it used to look before)

George's Gretsch guitar sounds interesting too!

Paul did seriously sold his first guitar? I'd never do that EVER!
