Groovy Beatles pictures

[bails]

No, the slash sound hole, which is not shaped like a slash at all.

Not sure what's happened with the photo, but George's sound hole is not that shape, and doesn't have a cusp halfway.

Trick o' the lighting, I would say.

What's going on here? Photoshop?

Is the idea of John playing George's guitar that far-fetched?

I don't think the idea of John playing George's Rick is farfetched, it's just not everyday you see a picture of it.

Thanks.... those are VERY groovy pictures of John holding George's Rick.

Maybe John had a cigarette in that hand, and some politically correct photographer got a little too ambitious airbrushing it out.

There.... if a painted on sound hole was good enough for George's Gretsch, I suppose it should be good enough for George's Rick.

That's logical to me. They airbrushed out McCartney's cigarette on the sleeve for "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "Can't Buy Me Love".

And Abbey Road.

By the way, the HDN Collector's Edition DVD (I got it for my b'day) is well worth it for all the interviews with surviving members of the cast and crew:

George's "new style" 360-12 was stolen soon after he received it. But I always thought he looked great with it (as does almost anyone holding that guitar) and IMHO he should have gotten another one!
