Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition George Harrison 1967 Bass VI Relic Bleached 3-Color Sunburst With Case PRE ORDER

Limited Edition and Rare - Fender Custom George Harrison 1967 Bass VI - 1 of 100

PRE ORDER!!!!

George Harrison’s sunburst Fender® Bass VI became an essential voice at Abbey Road Studios, providing the melodic counterpoints and textural layers that shaped some of the most admired arrangements in popular music. The Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition George Harrison 1967 Bass VI is a painstaking recreation of that instrument, built to the same specifications by the luthiers in Corona, California, and finished with Relic® aging that channels decades of creative life. 

This is a one-time run that the Custom Shop is offering only to Showcase level dealers.  Each can only obtain one - which Truetone jumped on right away.  This super collectible instrument is now available for pre-order and will start shipping in Q2 2027.  Only 100 will be built for the whole world, and once they are gone, that will be it - this will not be repeated.

The two-piece select alder body delivers resonant warmth and balanced midrange, with a thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish. The Relic® treatment in Bleached 3-Color Sunburst gives this bass the worn-in look and feel of an instrument that has seen years of regular studio and stage use. 

The neck is shaped to match the profile of Harrison’s Bass VI, featuring a bound 3A rosewood fingerboard and white Pearloid block inlays. The 7.25” radius and 21 vintage frets provide the period-correct playing surface that rewards a lighter touch with expressive dynamics, making chord voicings and melodic runs feel effortless across the 30” scale length. This shorter scale produces inherently lower string tension, lending a supple, elastic feel that invites both bass lines and guitar-style phrasing. A bone nut ensures precise intonation and open-string sustain at the headstock end. 

Loaded with three period-correct Custom Shop Hand-Wound Jaguar® pickups, the Harrison Bass VI captures the full harmonic spectrum of the instrument’s unique register. These pickups deliver articulate highs that cut through a dense mix, a growling midrange with natural compression, and defined low end that anchors without muddiness. Individual on/off slide switches for each pickup let you sculpt your signal path on the fly, from a single pickup’s vocal clarity to the full trio’s orchestral depth. The switch plate replicates the etchings Harrison made on his original to note his preferred settings. 

Other premium features include a 6-saddle vintage-style adjustable bridge with “floating” tremolo tailpiece and Bass VI mute, a 4-ply brown shell pickguard, vintage-style tuning machines with Fender® logo, and an American Vintage ’59-’64 string tree.  It comes strung with Fender® Bass VI stainless steel strings (.025-.095).  Included is a deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity. 

This is a rare opportunity to own a very special and collectible instrument that will only be made once, and only 100 will exist.
