That's hard to say. He bought his first one at a London store called India Craft; he got a better one coming back from the Far East in 1965, when they had a layover in India. Ravi Shankar gave him lessons, but let him gradually know that he'd probably never achieve his ambitions with it; he'd started way too late.
Harrison largely abandoned Indian music after the Wonderwall soundtrack... but the time he'd put in on scales and exercises gave him a different musical sensibility, and when he started playing slide guitar (after The Beatles broke up), it all paid off.
Yes, he started playing sitar in 1965, when it was used in the Beatles film, "Help!"
He learned from Ravi Shankar, the Indian virtuoso.
