It Took 5 Decades for Paul McCartney to Find His Stolen Bass Guitar but it Finally Happened
A global search for Paul McCartney’s missing 1961 Höfner guitar ended successfully when the Beatles pop star was reunited with his guitar in December. McCartney bought the musical instrument in 1961 in Hamburg, Germany, for $38. The guitar was used in some of the classic Beatles hits, including Love Me Do and She Loves You. It was stolen from the back of a van in West London in 1972.

The search for the instrument was initiated last year when McCartney urged manufacturers Höfner to find his long-lost guitar. Nick Wass for Höfner, and Scott and Naomi Jones, two journalists, headed the search project named The Lost Bass Project.
