George Harrison famously played one on the first Sullivan appearances and set the look for guitarists in the 60s. With its goldtone trim, roller bridge, inlaid whammy, side fret markers, versatile controls, and neat, tight fit and finish, the Matsumoku-built 1475 showed that a Japanese-made guitar need not be a cheesy affair.

The Gretsch Country Gentleman is a classic electric guitar known for its distinct sound and iconic design, popularized by George Harrison of The Beatles.
