George Harrison's Harptone 12 String Guitar
George Harrison received this guitar prior to recording The Beatles' "White
Album." While there is currently no evidence that it was used on any Beatles
recording, it was used by George and members of Badfinger on the sessions for George's
All Things Must Pass LP set and by Badfinger member Tom Evans at Madison Square Garden
during the Concert For Bangla Desh charity shows. In 1974, George gave the guitar
to Bob Purvis, a member of the band Splinter. George produced Splinter's debut LP,
"The Place I Love," and played this guitar during those sessions. The original
tuners were replaced some time before George gave the guitar to Mr. Purvis. An endpin
mini-jack and Barcus Berry pickup were professionally installed in the mid to late
1970s. Harptone's instruments were built in Newark, New Jersey, from 1966 until the
mid-1970s. Est. 80,000-up.
