In 1956 George Harrison begun playing on an acoustic guitar. The neck is currently visibly slanted and misaligned with the body - not known if rectifying the next listed issue would fully resolve or only.

For sale is a vintage Egmond acoustic guitar. Over the course of the 70s, the Japanese output improved dramatically, and in many ways these early 70s models are a low point for the brand. Egmond was one of the premier builders of Dutch guitars, opening their factory in 1932, closing down. These new Epiphones were based on existing Matsumoku guitars, sharing body shapes, and hardware, but the Epiphone line was somewhat upgraded, with inlaid logos and a 2x2 peghead configuration. The Matsumoku factory had been producing guitars for export for some time, but the 1820 bass (alongside a number of guitar models and the 5120 electric acoustic bass) were the first Epiphone models to be made there. In the UK the Egmond guitars were marketed as Rosetti guitars, so the guitar that George Harrison had, was a Rosetti 276. It was an Egmond 105/0, that also was called Egmond Toledo. By the end of the 1960s, a decision had been made to move Epiphone guitar production from the USA (at the Kalamazoo plant where Gibson guitars were made), to Matsumoto in Japan, creating a line of guitars and basses significantly less expensive than the USA-built models (actually less than half the price).
