Here's another one of my favourite Beatles guitars, but I don't believe I'll ever had the chance to own one of this, for as far as I know it was only produced commercially for a brief period of time and is certainly worth a fortune. The rosewood Telecaster was specially hand-made for George in 1969, and he used it a lot during the Get Back sessions. Then, in december of that year, George toured with Delaney & Bonnie. After the tour, George offered the rosewood Tele as a gift to Delaney, with whom the guitar has been since then. In 2005 it was kindly brought to my attention by a friend named Stephen that this website had updated information on what's beend one of George's gorgeous tele. According to the site, the guitar has been auctioned on September 13, 2003, for over $430.000. The buyer kept secret about his identidy, but it's believed that he bought the guitar on behalf of Olivia, who now owns it.
