* The hand written note from George Harrison is inscribed on the reverse of a hand written letter from Richard Smith to Alan Rogan, dated June 3rd, 1987. The letter asks Alan to let him know what he thinks of the manuscript - "let me know what you think and if you have any luck with George". Enclosed is an original print of John Lennon's 325/12 from 1964, which is also included in the sale. 

In reply, George's note reads "The Rickenbacker 12 string is a well designed guitar and I particularly liked the layout of it 12 machine heads. Along with its bright sound, this guitar contributed a lot to the music of the Beatles and the 1960s. In fact I have used it recently on my new album and it still sounds terrific. GH"
