It would be cool if Fender came out with the guitar strap that George Harrison used with his Fender Rosewood Telecaster. I bet those straps would get bought up fast, like this recent edition of his guitar that just came out. I would buy one of these straps, if they come available to purchase. :D

Now all you need now is a VOX AC30.



Is that Paul's stolen left handed 1961, Hofner 3/4 scale "violin" bass (500/1) in the background of this YouTube cover photo from January 30, 1969?

It looks like John and George swapped out the Vox AC30 Amps for Fender '68 Custom Twin Reverb 85-watt 2x12" Tube Combo Amps, for their second rooftop performance.
So you could go for one of these:

I think George's strap may look to be a thin light colored leather strap, but the Fender strap looks pretty cool. :D

I am sorry you have to wait till October to get your guitar, but the wait will be worth it. This will be a treasure hunt to find a strap like the one George has on his Telecaster. If I could find out what brand it was, that would be a good head start. Anyone have any idea where his strap came from? I am sure he didn't walk into a music store and purchase it. Did it come from Fender when they brought the guitar to him?

I know they all used Selmer straps for a long while but I've only seen the tan one on the tele so maybe he went wide for the weight ....they quite often sent a "gofer" usually Mal Evans for stuff including " go and get a couple of fender starts "
