Nice site on the Beatles guitars: http://www.nickmartellaro.info/
This site also contains nice pictures of the boys playing their instruments (for instance: a couple of Paul playing the Fender Jazz Bass and a Telecaster.)

^Good site, Bobber, cheers!

I like this:

...and its links!!!

After all, all the sites go round in circles: they all are very similar and their links always the same.

Yeah that is my fav too Raxo.

Ah, a thread started before my arrival.  Thank you for that link, Bobber!

Nice to read about my 1963 Gretsch Country Gentleman, like George's second Country Gent with two Filtertrons and the two flip up mute switches:



I'll take a picture of mine to post.

(For those times I try so hard to sound like George)

Wow, didn't know that you owned that guitar, Hello Goodbye, what a nice model!!!
... it's so hard to sound like George, uh? ... well, you had already said it!!!

I bought it years ago raxo, secondhand.  That model had not reached collector's status when I bought it.  The 1962 and '63 Country Gents are now called the "King George" models.

So your model is by now old enough to have became a collectable one, I guess ... do you play it often?
"King George" fits better than "Quiet George"!!!

Quoted from raxo

... do you play it often?

Quite often.  It has that distinctive early Beatles sound.

... oh, I envy you!!!    

Right, raxo.  That's his 1962 Country Gentleman with the dial-up mutes.  The guitar was stolen while in for repairs and he kept the loaner 1963 model (with flip-up mutes)

I'll take a picture of mine tonight and post it tomorrow.

raxo,

Here's my 1963 Gretsch Country Gentleman:

Ooh, such a lovely guitar, indeed!!! ... how couldn't anybody want to play it forever?! I would want! I surely couldn't stop playing it!!!
Thanks for the pic, Hello Goodbye!!!

Thank you, raxo.  Officially, it's the Chet Atkins Country Gentleman.  We all know that Mr. Atkins was among those who influenced George's guitar style.  George Harrison's other Chet Atkins-designed guitar was his Tennessean which he used in Help!







Chet Atkins returned George's tribute in his 1965 album "Chet Atkins Picks on the Beatles"




Definitely worth a listen!
