Comments

The interest and demand for any Instruments that were owned and use by any member of the Fab Four is exceptionally high, with original owned and played Beatles-era instruments commanding in excess of $1 Million. The instrument offered, although being a hired guitar, still has direct connection to a key member of the Fab Four, Paul McCartney and has been priced realistically based on past history.
