Never noticed how he's strapped up before. Rather unorthodox.
Also, wonder what that Gretsch cost George.

im sure at that point money was of no object to george, funny enough its not the most outlandish cover he's done
Yeah you could do worse than a George Harrison replica. That was just the first expensive CS fender that I've seen locally that I thought of. Then I saw that abomination that I posted after. Not sure why anyone would buy that red one.
Sure, I could either rattle can it, or hire someone at a body shop to paint it. I'd have to sand down the headstock and beg Fender for a new decal though
No. Nyet. Nein. Never. Not even if I was in a Pablo Cruise Tribute Band

Exactamondo. Besides, isn't the point of owning a Fender the fact that they are all kinda garbage, and you either find the diamond in the rough or you beat it into one.
I always think of George and Strats in terms of the white one he played at Concert For Bangladesh. But I looked up pix from the 74 tour, and he played everything (including the sig Strat).
George live '74.
I had a bootleg of this tour, his voice was shredded wheat.
In fact, he blew his voice out the week prior to the tour while rushing the Dark Horse album.
Check out his voice on this b-side from those pre-tour sessions.
But I digress....

Ditch the writing, put it on an 80's Jackson Soloist, drop the price... and I'm in.
A. A profound and resolute NO....
B. The person or persons who green-lighted this "project" need to have their duties restricted to cleaning and scrubbing the bathrooms and dumpsters at GC's around the country
C. I cannot un-see this and it haunts me

Honestly.. there's no way I'm spending 8 G's on any bass.. but contrary to many opinions in the thread I do like the art. I'd play it.. if it was given to me, because I don't need another P-bass and if I did it would be under two grand, if not less than a grand lol.
As bad as the bass is in the OP, I think this tops it. Better jump on it while it's still in stock — and hey BONUS BUCKS!
Why buy two NYC Sadowskys when you can buy one Fender?
Really, I love a nice Fender. I have three. But, sometimes they do stuff I don't understand. And that's okay.
