When did George Harrison get his first guitar?

Answer 1

He was fifteen years old, and had been pleading for a guitar since Elvis Presley's music and image had reached England. His mother Julia bought him one by mail order, with a GUARANTEED NOT TO SPLIT label. Lennon kept it at her house at first (he lived with her sister Mimi), and learned tenor banjo chords from Julia, leaving the bass strings slack.

Lennon later brought the guitar home to Mimi's house (Mendips, on Menlove Avenue in Woolton), and learned proper guitar chords from Paul McCartney, and later George Harrison. Mimi banished him from the house when he wanted to play it, and he would lean against the patio's brickwork. Mimi later took credit for buying her nephew his first guitar.

When he was fifteen, and not long after Elvis Presley's music reached England, in 1956. His mother bought him his first guitar, through a mail-order company.

Answer 2

After Stuart Sutcliffe's departure from The Beatles. He said later in The McCartney Interview that he didn't originally want the bass guitarist's role, but nobody else in the band wanted it either. (He had previously played second lead guitar in the Beatles.) He borrowed a bass at first, until he bought his first Hofner violin bass.
