George Harrison used a Fender Stratocaster during his 1974 tour. According to a book I read, he played three different Stratocasters on that tour, and this was one of them. Although I borrowed the book from the library and can't provide a photo of the source, I've included a quote highlighting Harrison's fondness for the Fender Stratocaster.

JED with his strat. He used it as his slide guitar in the early to mid-70s. You can see his slide on the volume knob. You can tell it is and early 70s by the headstock.
