Any idea of the date of this photo?

I'd guess it was fairly soon after George got his NS 360/12 and John wanted to try it out.

probably mid 65

Could it have been August 21, 1965? Scroll down a little for a photograph of the presentation.

Good call Stephen! George is wearing the same clothes in both photographs.

Yep, that is definitely it. I think right after this, there is a photo of George shaking the guys hand and grinning. This is the first time I've seen a picture from this angle though

Welcome, Nick. And I would say your answer was pretty much spot on.

Stephen was spot on. Nick was close.

Who's on first?

No, it's the guy who owned B Sharp music in Minneapolis who also sold me my first guitar--a Fender acoustic for $80--in 1977. Can't remember his name. Just a dude.

The B Sharps? Man, I loved that band. But really, who didn't?

The person presenting the guitar to George was not the owner of B-Sharp Music. He managed the store as I recall. Me and my friends went there on a regular basis throughout the 60s and 70s. The owner was Jim Lopez, who I believe is standing behind George and next to Brian in the original photo.

No escaping the facts, is there? Or the Nordeast... now I'll be obsessed trying to remember that dude's name.
