George Harrison's Rocky

This 1961 Stratocaster was originally finished in Sonic Blue with rosewood fingerboard and white pickguard and was one of a pair purchased in 1965 for George Harrison and John Lennon ready for the Rubber Soul sessions. 

As 1967’s Summer Of Love began to take hold George joined in with the other Beatles and transformed his Stratocaster using dayglo paint and his wife’s nail varnish with this psychedelic colour scheme, naming it Rocky.

Rocky was used in the studio for recording You’re Going To Lose That Girl and Nowhere Man and made a film appearance in The Beatles’ film Magical Mystery Tour, performing on I Am The Walrus. 

Rocky’s biggest performance came in June 1967 when an estimated worldwide audience of 350 million watched The Beatles perform All You Need Is Love as part of Our World, the first live world-wide satellite television broadcast.

George continued to use Rocky for slide work after 1970, notably on Free as a Bird.
