The Pro-Ject Essential III George Harrison vinyl turntable is the result of a special collaboration between Pro-Ject and Universal Music, forged to pay tribute to one of the most influential artists in popular music: former Beatles member George Harrison.
The vinyl turntable chosen to best represent this legendary musician was the Essential III, an exceptional version of Pro-Ject’s benchmark product.

Essential III George Harrison : design
The illustration is by Studio Number One and is an original drawing by American artist Shepard Fairey, one of the hottest street artists around.
This portrait of George Harrison next to Indian-style symbols, combined with the image of an analogue mixing desk (underneath the platter), give this vinyl turntable a unique and distinctive style!
