I don't have one but a nice pic of Keith in '81 I believe

...they look heavy, are they?

Mine is a 2003 MIM, not as heavy as the USA or Japan Models. The body is rosewood veneer over alder, not solid rosewood. It has a great vintage tele tone and cost alot less than the other versions. The neck is rosewood oever maple. I'm thinking I might put a solid rosewood neck on it down the road, but for now it ain't broke so...

Dont know if you guys are aware, but check out the Fender website - they have issued a limited edition rosewood fender tele a la Harrison only for 2007. Drooling at the prospect of getting one, but cant afford it. But nice pic of one on the website.

Damn Jamie...!!!

That's an absolute beauty!

Jay Turser puts one out for about $200, check ebay.

The Turser's don't look too bad for $200, there is also a nice MIM one for $600.....one of these days!

Beautiful, but way out of my price range... $4200.00... Yikes!

Here's an MIJ. Most of these MIJ Rosewoods have bodies made up of six pieces (seven if you count the maple). Some have better grain matching than others.

One on eBay right now!!! (CLICK HERE)

Got me a masterbuilt John English Rosewood '68. One piece neck (no skunk or truss plug), maple sandwich and chambered body. ....Interesting to see that Keef pic - other notables who owned and played a Rosey are :- Pop Staples, Steve Cropper and apparently Elvis was given the twin of Harrisons!! Fender made Jimi a Rosewood Strat, but unfortunatley he died before it could be given to him. I would love to know what happened to that!!

Here's a CS version that popped up on eBay today. It'll be interesting to see what it goes for.

Is that maple really just one piece?

Beautiful, but way out of my price range... $4200.00... Yikes!

I always liked the look of this model and I don't know why but I suddenly wondered what the original street price tag was, say around 1970?

Hmmmmmm................ never thought about that. Probably not.
