George Harrison's Gear
"When Harrison went to Hessy's Music in Liverpool on 20 November looking for a new guitar, he was thinking "Stratocaster," but the closest Frank Hessy could come was this sleek three-pickup Futurama"

George Harrison used the Fender Stratocaster 1974 Dark Horse 2 during his 1974 tour, as evidenced by a user-uploaded photo.
I'm not sure if there are any quotes from him about the Vox UL730 amplifier which was one of the Vox Hybrid amplifiers made in England of the mid sixties, which George used starting sometime during the Rubber soul album, through Revolver, and Sgt. Pepper. Later the amp was auctioned off by Bonham's auction house where it fetched a pretty sum!!! here is a link to the info

He played it in concert at Margate (July 8-13), in Liverpool (August 2), at a photocall at the Cavern (August 3) and when the Beatles played Guernsey, Channel Islands (August 6-10)."

This Stratocaster was a custom collaboration between Fender and McLaren Cars and was designed to match George's custom McLaren F1 sports car. Some of the customizations include large black knobs, an "Om" logo on the headstock and custom backplate and plaque on the rear. The color is Dark Purple Pearl and the pickguard and backplate are dark carbon fiber, both of which matched the car.
