Dhani Harrison cherishes the guitars he inherited from his father. Now there's a way to share them with George Harrison's fans as well.

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.

At a cost of $9.99, the app will offer users detailed 360-degree studies of some of his best-known gear; their histories and other background information; and multimedia of the guitars in action.
