George Harrison Played and Twice-Signed Acoustic Guitar with Original Unreleased Cassette Recording TRACKS UK & Frank Caiazzo

This guitar was played and signed by George Harrison during a gathering of musicians in India at the Taj Holiday Village in Goa, India in September 1994. George and his wife, Olivia, were on holiday in Goa and became friendly with the resident musicians at the hotel. On one of the nights during his stay George kindly offered to sign autographs. This guitar was signed and then dedicated and signed for one of the musicians named Orlando. Following the signing session George and several of the musicians played music and sang together for around 45 minutes, including renditions of various Beatles songs and a newly-composed Harrison song. Harrison played the entire session using this acoustic guitar. The jam session was all recorded on the cassette and is completely unreleased. George Harrison guitars are impossible to find making this a true one-of-a-kind collectible for any guitar collector. Accompanied by a picture of George autographing the instrument and the cassette recording. The autographs have faded slightly. Comes with a Tracks UK Letter of Authenticity, a copy of a Tracks UK Letter of Authenticity, a copy of the newspaper article about this encounter, a Frank Caiazzo Letter of Authenticity and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
