According to the Beatles Gear Book, George called his red Gibson Les Paul "Lucy." This statement is credited to Mal Evans from his column in The Beatles Monthly Magazine. My question is what year and month did that article appear? Cheers, Ed

Does it say what year he obtained the Les Paul as I might be able to track it down for you from there?

Regarding the red Les Paul, the Gear Book says it was named Lucy after Lucille Ball. Does anyone know this to be true? If so did George or Mal name it?
Thanks for helping with my research on this guitar.
Cheers, Ed
BTW The Mal article was in the August 1968 of the Beatles Monthly Mag.

Hi bubbao and welcome to the Forum. You know how things are, Mal may have mentioned to George since the guitar was red that it reminded him of Lucy Ricardo, but whoever owns the guitar gets to name it so George gets the blame there. I was surprised when Guitar Aficionado magazine did the article on the 'George Harrison Guitar Collection' that Dhani didn't pick this guitar to talk about, but with only five guitars to pick I guess you can over look one. I hope The End has that Beatle Monthly issue I'd like to know what Mal had to say about it.

I do indeed have that issue of Beatle Monthly - I will dust it off and post a scan of the article... soon!
