Without looking at the list, and thus only from memory, here goes...

-Rosonet Futurama III
-Gretsch Duo Jet (he originally wanted a white strat but couldn't get one)
-Gretsch Tennessean
-Gretsch Country Gent
-Rickenbacker 360/12 double bound
-Fender Stratocaster, 1964- sonic blue model played most famously on Nowhere Man
-Epiphone Casino
-Gibson SG with Maestro vibrato
-Gibson Les Paul - a goldtop refinished with a cherry top, a gift from Eric Clapton and named 'Lucy' by George
-Fender Rosewood Telecaster- a prototype sent direct from Fender and played on Let It Be and the final rooftop gig.

I don't think I've missed any really famous ones ;\)

Of all of those it'd be the SG I'd give my left eye for

...and subsequently given a psychedelic paintjob for the "Magical Mystery Tour" film, then set up for slide and used extensively throughout his solo career for that purpose.

There's also his Gibson J-200 acoustic and, IIRC, a Martin D-28 with a pickup, the same as one John bought at the same time.

The paint job Strat was nicknamed 'Rocky' I do believe..had Pattie's lipstick on the headstock..

Loved George's playing style. He knew just how to phrase a solo without over indulging. Damn fine song writer too. Sadly missed for many reasons....

His songwriting skills were overshadowed by those of Lennon & McCartney, who are regarded by many musicians as possibly the best songwriters ever -- in a field that includes Schubert, Wagner, Gershwin etc.

But Harrison was a damn fine composer in his own right. Exhibit A: While My Guitar Gently Weeps -- I rest my case.

...Oh yes - but what vision, humility and openmindedness he showed in asking his friend Eric to play lead guitar on the song rather than play himself ...

P*ssed John off though....
