The J-160 was the bought by both George and John. Since they had bought the exact same guitar, they were mixed up right from the beginning. George used the guitar that was in John's name and vice versa. The guitar was soon used on the their new song Love Me Do, and would be used on live and televised appearances. It was also used during the recording of Sgt. Pepper. |
This guitar was bought during the White album but was primarily used during the Let It Be and Abbey Road sessions. In the movie Let It Be George is seen using it during the recording of For You Blue, and Here Comes the Sun. He also used it during his Concert for Bangladesh. |

This guitar George used to perform at the Prince of Trust concert, I do not know who it's made by. |

George supposedly used this little guitar are on the song Girl from Rubber Soul. |
This guitar George used during the Beatles first trip to Hamburg. It was soon replaced by the Duo Jet that George got a later in Liverpool |
This guitar was used by George, during the mid 70's and was used by the Dark Horse group Splinter. Now, I have my own little story about this guitar. Just this past winter my parents a couple of friends of ours, and I all went to Las Vegas for a few days. One of the friends said that when she was in Vegas the week before she had seen a guitar that once belonged to George Harrison. It was in a shop at the new hotel Manually Bay. To make a long story short. We went to the shop and it was right there in the display case with the letter of authenticity signed by Harold J. Harrison on Harrisongs Ltd. headed paper. 
Here is a picture of the actual guitar along with the letter of authenticity. At the that this photo was taken, this guitar could be yours for a mere $30,000. However, two days later was the horrendous attack on George and Olivia. I would expect that the price has either gone up considerably, or is in safe keeping. |
