Thanks so much for this series. I'm a huge Beatles fan and guitar player, and I've got my own collection of about 19 Beatle guitars. I also follow a number of Beatles tribute bands including yours. Hope you come to Phoenix sometime so I can see you in action. In the meantime, please keep up this series on their (and your) guitars. Also interested in how you acquired some of them, like the Rick 325/12 which has been out if production for years. Would also be interested in behind-the-scenes of the band rehearsals, how you decide a set list, and so on. Great job, keep 'em coming!
Now we know most likely that the George Tennessean was destroyed off the back of Their moving Vehicle, and one of the Tuning pegs would be put on Paul's Cavern hofner bass. I really wish someone would ask Paul or Ringo while they are still alive and confirm that George's favorite Gretsch was destroyed. That Guitar sure has that BEATLES Sound for sure.
Actually this guitar was destroyed. It fell off their touring car and was run over by multiple trucks (or lorries, as they say in Britain). Mal Evans picked up the pieces, the neck and headstock. But that’s not all one of the tuning keys from it is reused on Paul McCartney’s Hofner Cavern bass, and after analyzing some photos George reused the Silver Gretch selector switch knob on his Lucy Les Paul for a brief period.
Hi, I finally found a true Beatles enthusiast who knows the history of their guitars well, I have a doubt that has been nagging me for some time, what strings did George use on his guitars? Flatwound or roundwound? There are those who say Flatwound but if that was the case, what scaling? I've tried various brands and scales but they all have a wound G and I can't do the bends, it is said that George used Flatwounds but you changed the G with a non-wound one, is that right?
There is a UA-cam video where a guy did alot of Photo and historical analysis on this, it is Quite revealing for sure. The video is Beatles Guitar strings:

Hi, nice version, I also have a Gretsch Tennessee Rose, what strings do you use on yours? are they Flatwound? If so, what brand and scaling, thanks
how come the room audio and the amp are in different ears?
I think I understand your question. The guitar audio is through a direct box.
@@britbeattv3126 i mean the speaking is in the left ear and the guitar demo is in the right. I was wondering why that is
What's next?
Our studio is receiving some renovations. As soon as that is completed, we will be resuming new videos. Thanks!
