"Paul McCartney Reunited with Long-Lost Bass Guitar After 50 Years"
Paul McCartney has been reunited with his original Höfner bass guitar, which was stolen in the 1970s, after it was missing for more than 50 years. The guitar, bought in 1961, was the former Beatles member's primary instrument during the early years of the band. A team of Beatles fans launched the Lost Bass Project to seek out leads and share updates on their search for the missing instrument, eventually leading to its recovery. McCartney continues to play the '63 Höfner live and on studio recordings to this day.
