Gretsch Guitars celebrates the life of George Harrison with the new G6128T-GH George Harrison Signature Duo Jet Guitar, modeled after what Harrison called his “first real decent guitar.” Harrison originally purchased his Duo Jet Gretsch secondhand in the 1960s. The guitar was used to record the Beatles’s first album Please Please Me (1963), and he still held the instrument dear well into the 1980s.
