McCartney's Rickenbacker 4001S was present, but only as a backup. McCartney uses his 1963 Hofner 500/1 exclusively, although he can be seen playing his 1961 500/1 at Twickenham Film Studios (That model was stolen soon after filming).
Lennon is rarely seen without his stripped-down Epiphone Casino. Harrison is often seen playing his custom-made rosewood Fender Telecaster (serial number 235594), which he later gave to Delaney Bramlett, and "Lucy," the 1957 Gibson Les Paul Standard (refinished to cherry red) given to him by Eric Clapton and famously seen in the "Revolution" promo film. It has been suggested that his role had been unofficially elevated to more of a co-producer.Ī wealth of photos and video from the Let It Be sessions leave no question as to the band's gear choices at this point. Martin's exact role in the recording of Get Back, later known as Let It Be, is still unclear Glyn Johns, who was brought in by McCartney as an engineer, was present at more sessions than Martin and can be heard on more of the tapes. To the rescue came two eight-channel mixing consoles, which were used in tandem with Apple's one working piece of equipment, a new 3M eight-track tape machine.
After trying to record with a mixing console made of wood and an old oscilloscope, George Martin made a frantic call to Abbey Road: "For God's sake, get some decent equipment down here!"
