This white 10oz. ceramic mug is decorated with three highly detailed hand drawn colour illustrations of The Beatles' guitars used for the famous Apple rooftop concert, from George Morgan.
The Beatles’ Guitars from the Apple rooftop concert 30th January 1969
Paul
McCartney’s Hofner 500/1 was first seen during Ready Steady Go! in
October 1963. Known as ‘The Beatle Bass’ it became his main instrument
and the one with which he would be most recognised. It was used almost
exclusively until the breakup. By the time of the rooftop concert Paul
had removed the pickguard and applied a Fender Bassman sticker.
John
Lennon purchased this Epiphone Casino in 1966 and used it as his main
instrument during the remainder of his time with The Beatles. The
pickguard was removed and the body sanded to bare wood whilst recording The White Album in 1968.
The
first Rosewood Telecaster was Fender’s gift to George Harrison. It was
flown to the UK in time to be used almost exclusively on the Get Back sessions, the Abbey Road album, Let It Be
album and movie, then in The Beatles’ final live performance on the
roof of their Apple building where these three famous guitars were used
together as The Beatles played Get Back, Don’t Let Me Down, I’ve Got A Feeling, The One After 909 and Dig A Pony.
These illustrations have been produced by George Morgan and are not photographs.
The images have been dye sublimated onto the mug. This means the images are under the ceramic glaze and are dishwasher, microwave and UV-proof and with normal use will
not scratch, crack, fade or peel.
The durable nature of this printing process makes this mug ideal for use in the home or studio.
