George Harrison's influence on popular music is undeniable. As a key figure in the Beatles, his innovative playing and unique tones helped shape rock history. Among his many iconic guitars, the most visually striking was his 1961 Sonic Blue Stratocaster, which he hand-painted in vibrant psychedelic colors and named "Rocky." Acquired in 1965, it was first used on the Rubber Soul album and continued to appear on Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, and The White Album.

The George Harrison Rocky Stratocaster recreates this legendary guitar with a hand-painted alder body, replicating every detail, including artwork on the pickguard and plastic parts. Even the headstock features a replica Grimwoods decal, paying tribute to the original music store where Harrison purchased it. Equipped with vintage-style '60s Stratocaster pickups, it delivers the crisp, dynamic tones of Fender’s golden era. A mid-'60s "C"-shaped maple neck, 7.25" radius slab rosewood fingerboard, and 21 vintage-style frets provide a classic feel. The vintage-style synchronized tremolo and tuners complete the authentic look and playability of this historic instrument.
