My reasoning is simply that I was recently playing a humbucker (PAF style) equipped guitar and simply
nailed the intro tone. I had previously thought that the ES-345 thing was pretty dubious, but i'm sold now.

John, the 345 made me happy for over 20 years. The 335 is a more sought after model by collectors, a lot of guys didn't like the stereo wiring most of the 345s had, but the vari-tone 6 position switch was half way usefull. I will always have something with hummbuckers in my arsinal.

I'm also hearing some Strat on "It's Only Love", "I'm Looking Through You", "You Won't See Me", "She Said, She Said", "Doctor Robert", "And Your Bird Can Sing" and "Doctor Robert". Anyone else agree?
There is also said to be an electric 12-string on "Here, There and Everywhere", but could it be double-tracked Strat?
I know it's a lot to be thinking George used the Strat on, but I've been mostly playing a '62 RI Strat since November '07, so, I don't know...

I thought Paul & George used their Epiphone Casinos on "And Your Bird Can Sing." Not?

I thought John quit using his 325(s) when he picked up a Casino...

From "Help!" to the end of the Beatles, here are the songs I think George used a Strat on:
Ticket to Ride
The Night Before
Another Girl
You're Gonna Lose That Girl
It's Only Love
You Like Me Too Much
Tell Me What You See
Yes It Is
I'm Down
Nowhere Man
You Won't See Me
Think for Yourself
The Word
What Goes On
I'm Looking Through You
In My Life
Wait
Run for Your Life
Taxman
I'm Only Sleeping
She Said, She Said
And Your Bird Can Sing (not sure if it's this double-tracked or the 360/12NS)
Here, There and Everywhere (not sure if it's this double-tracked or the 360/12NS)
Doctor Robert
Fixing a Hole (with compression!)
Getting Better
Baby You're a Rich Man
It's All Too Much
All You Need Is Love
Magical Mystery Tour
Flying
I Am the Walrus
Hello Goodbye
Back in the USSR
Dear Prudence
Birthday
Yer Blues
Revoultion
Something
I know that I could be wrong on some, but this is just my ears hearing the sounds, I don't know for a fact

For the below songs, and there may be a few that I forgot to remove, it's always seemed to be that these were not Strat songs, being either the Tennessean, SG, Lucy (his Les Paul), the rosewood Tele, or Casino. There are also some songs above where McCartney was contributing guitar solos on either a Casino or Fender Esquire.
Regarding "And Your Bird" and "Here, There", those are probably doubled-Casinos.

I'm working on recording the next beatles cover, Ticket to ride. Think the droning one string david crobyish rhythm is a strat?
I'm trying to record things pretty authentic, except I'm not doing it tuned a quarter step low like the original.
May need real drums on this one due to the drum rolls. Oh, and a tambourine!
