Guitars can become historical  because of their quality or when they have been played by (world) famous people. The latter is the case with Egmond guitars.

The cheapest but.....most known Egmond:

This is George Harrison 's first guitar. As he was English it had the Rosetti brandname. George had to work hard at this on to get reasonable sounds out of it. A few years ago she was sold for 10's of thousands of euro's.

This is what Christopher Sileo made ( 3D) out of all the things we know. Visit Christopher's 3D site . See my LINKS.

But Brian May too played the Egmond Toledo.

Nowadays some people are still looking for Paul's original sound with this Egmond Rosetti Solid 7

One of them is Xosé. He sent me the following pictures. If you can help him with getting the items to get Macca's original sound. Please mail him . He still wants the guitar.
