"I’m in a hotel room [in London] with Carl [Perkins], George Harrison and his wife walk into the hotel room. And George walks up to me and says, ‘Hello, Bernie, I’m George.’ And all I could do was go (mimes shaking hands), ‘I know.’ I mean, I couldn’t believe this was happening because it was just ridiculous. He goes, ‘I understand you made a guitar for me.’ I go, ‘Yes, check it out.’ It was this guitar right here [in the picture]… And he played, and he goes, ‘This is really, really neat, I really like this. Would you be interested in letting me buy this?’ I said, ‘Absolutely.’" — Bernie Hamburger, Frye Studios 2 YouTube channel
