>From the visual evidence of the LET IT BE movie, we know that George
Harrison used a rosewood Fender Telecaster electric guitar to play his
lead guitar parts on the version of "Let It Be" (the song) that ended
up released as a single (and the similar version that later appeared
on LET IT BE...NAKED).

What about the version that was on the LET IT BE album, however?  That
was overdubbed more than a year later, and judging from the very
different sound of George's guitar, he was probably not just playing
in a different style, but using different equipment altogether.   By
the time that George overdubbed his parts for the album version of
"Let It Be," hadn't he already given way the rosewood Telecaster to
Delaney Bramlett?


If it's not the rosewood Tele on the album version of "Let It Be,"
what guitar was it?   The likely suspects:


1.   The red "Lucy" Les Paul


2.   The psychedelic "Rocky" Fender Stratocaster


3.   The Epiphone Casino last seen played by George in the
"Hello,Goodbye" video in 1967.

It was likely one of these three guitars (if it wasn't the Tele, that
is).   I think it might have been Rocky.
