The $47,300 difference between the two is more than twice what we paid for our first house.

Maybe if they'd pulled off getting John Lennon's signature on them......

The fretboard looks really dry on this thing. If you compare the photo of Paul holding his, versus the repro, it looks like a different species of wood?

Sorta ironic that Paul thought nothing of sticking a Red Rose Speedway decal on his guitar as well. He didn't baby his instruments, so this reproduction seems a little at odds with the core ethos of the guy.

I have seen both McCartney's old Texan and one of the 40 replicas that was given to him side by side, and he showed me how to tell which is which: the tort guard is the only detail they couldn't replicate faithfully.
