Bernie Hamburgers other guitar to George Harrison

[Peter Random]

Bernie Hamburger made on George Harrisons orders a guitar that should be like a Gibson Les Paul but have 4 single coil possibilities as well. The other order was that it should not be to heavy. Therefore Luthier Bernie Hamburger made George the Green guitar seen in the Beatles video Real love. That is one hell of a special guitar. 2 Seymor Duncan Humbuckers and 2 coilsplitting advocices so the Les Paul type 2 Humbuckers could turn into 4 single coils of George wanted. The shape of the guitar was just to make it lighter but its actually a Gibson Les Paul that was the order with possiblities for coil splitting on both humbuckers and a lighter guitar than a Gibson Les Paul. Though the neck is still Gibson Les Paul measurements: 24,75 inches long. Bernie also made a Stratocaster like guitar to George ( Georges favourite guitar from 1957 untill he died was the Fender Stratocaster). This guitar is rather interesting it has a Seymor Duncan Humbucker in the bridge and 2 Seymour Duncan single coils. For the bridge there is a coil splitt and the guitar is actually a Semi Hollow body guitar. I add some pictures of the 2 Stratocasters George used on the Beatles reunion also. Always wondered if that black has been changed throughout the years. The read Stratocaster is in the pictures too.
But here is the Strat type Hollowbody guitar Bernie Hamburger made for George Harrison

Here are the other Beatle reunion guitars a black and a red Fender Stratocaster. Always wondered if that black is the same as seen in other photos. George Harrison owned more than 100 Stratocasters When he died so its hard to say. The red Stratocaster is Dakota red I think. The color of the black I have forgotten whick color of black it is.
