The Beatles
This guitar was presented to Paul McCartney in 1964, following an agreement between Brian Epstein and Selmer that McCartney would endorse their new range of bass guitars with a personalised tag attached to the neck. Once the presentation had been made to McCartney, it subsequently went missing – it is claimed that Selmer either kept it back for exhibition purposes or it was sent to McCartney and lost on the way – but resurfaced years later.
