The Beatles was my first love of rock and roll. Thanks to my mother, my kindergarten years I spent listening to Beatles compiliation she had. And you ask ; “What The Beatles got to do with SG?”. Well my friends, you may not believe me if I tell you that George Harrison used Gibson SG in “Revolver”, one of my favorite album of all time. So uploaded 2 photo of George with his trusty SG.
This guitar, equipped with a Gibson Maestro Vibrola w/ lyre-style cover, was first used during the Revolver sessions, and was featured on the promo film for “Lady Madonna” and the recently reconstructed “Hey Bulldog” video. It makes its only public appearances on 1 May 1966 at the NME Poll Winners concert in Wembley (photo above,) and a few weeks later in Munich at the first show on the ‘66 tour. Sometime in 1969 Harrison gave this guitar to the band Badfinger, and after a dispute, Pete Ham aced out fellow guitarist Tom Evans and kept the SG. In 2004, Ham sold it through a Christie’s auction in NYC for £294,000 ($570,000) to an anonymous bidder.
I’ll trade my genital for this guitar. (Just an expression)
