iPad app spotlights George Harrison's guitar collection

The Guitar Collection: George Harrison is a $9.99 app created with the help of the late guitarist's son Dhani that spotlights the different instrument the former Beatle owned and played over the years.

Sounds pretty nifty:
The app, which is authorized by the George Harrison estate and developed by Bandwdth Publishing, works like a miniature showroom and includes digital replicas of seven of the guitars.
Images of George Harrison’s 12-string Rickenbacker 360/12, or the Fender Stratocaster he painted in DayGlo colors and named Rocky, can be manipulated and rotated from every angle; numbered details show the modifications he made to the instruments and, in accompanying audio files, Harrison tells stories of how he acquired the guitars (like the Gretsch Duo Jet he says he bought from a sailor in Liverpool for about £70 in 1961).
Users can see every Beatles or solo track Harrison used the guitars on and play them through the app. (Songs already in your iTunes library can be played in full; otherwise you’ll hear a short excerpt.)
There's a preview here.
