..."A Hofner bass rented by Paul McCartney in the mid-1960s sold for $US125,000."

Some people have way to much money.

No doubt. I wasn't even aware that George ever owned a 425.

That's the "I Want To Hold Your Hand" guitar, got to be worth something.

George Harrison was also presented with a Rick 360-12, from a local Music store, (B-Sharp Music), when they were in Minneapolis in 1965. I worked with the daughter of the original owners of the store a few years back.

I'm aware of that one.

 Makes me sad to see artists gear scattered. Felt the same way when Entwistles gear was auctioned off. I often wonder what will become of my prized possessions when I'm gone.

An even bigger fear is that she'll find out what you actually paid while you're still alive, leading to your premature demise.  ;)
