Fender George Harrison Rosewood Telecaster Electric Guitar, (Used)

The Fender George Harrison Rosewood Telecaster is a faithful tribute to the rare rosewood-bodied Telecaster Harrison played during the Beatles’ famous rooftop performance in 1969. Its chambered rosewood body, layered with a thin maple centre veneer, gives the guitar a warm, resonant tone and a striking visual appeal that sets it apart from standard alder or ash Telecasters. The rosewood neck and fingerboard feature a 9.5-inch radius and 21 medium-jumbo frets, offering smooth, comfortable playability for everything from rhythm parts to lead lines.

The electronics stay true to the classic Telecaster design with two single-coil pickups, controlled by a master volume, master tone, and a three-way selector switch. This setup captures both bright, snappy bridge tones and warmer, rounder neck sounds, while the pickups are voiced to reflect the vintage character of Harrison’s original instrument. The result is a clear, articulate, and expressive tone with plenty of dynamic response.

Hardware details complement the guitar’s vintage-inspired character while ensuring modern reliability. A Tune-o-Matic-style bridge with a rosewood base, vintage-style tuners, and chrome fittings provide stable tuning and solid sustain. Combined with the chambered rosewood construction and carefully voiced pickups, the guitar delivers a rich, balanced sound with strong midrange presence, making it perfect for expressive rhythm playing, melodic lines, and even slide work – capturing the essence of Harrison’s iconic instrument.
