Re: [Mellotronists] Beatles Mellotron...

While we're on the subject of Beatles 'tron appearances, I'm sure there's 
also at least one other sound lurking in the mix on Strawberry Fields, which 
happens during the opening chorus - (anorak mode on) - just before John sings 
'Strawberry Fields', and while he sings just that one part only, there's a 
kind of 'repeated and syncopated tapping' of one note for the duration (which 
is the best way I can describe it), and I'm convinced that's MKII electric 
guitar - which is certainly more apparent on alternate mixes/similar takes 
I've heard. If it's not that, then I'd be interested to know what the sound 
is (if only to be sure that it's not just me going nuts-whole-hazelnuts! 
*grin*) .
