Abstract

This article from Guitar World discusses George Harrison's guitars of choice during the Beatles' Anthology era, which were built by a man named Bernie Hamburger. Hamburger built guitars for Harrison in the mid-1990s, including a double-cutaway electric cherry red guitar with white trim. These guitars became Harrison's go-to instruments in his later years. Hamburger, who had been modifying guitars professionally since the late 1970s, met Harrison in 1991 and was hired to make guitars for him. The article highlights Hamburger's admiration for Harrison and the thrill of having his guitars played by his musical hero. [Extracted from the article]
