"Paul McCartney's Stolen Höfner Guitar Returned After 50 Years"
Paul McCartney's stolen Höfner bass guitar, missing since the 1970s, has been returned with the help of the Lost Bass Project and Höfner executive Nick Wass. The instrument, a mainstay during Beatlemania, will need professional care to be playable again. The search for the guitar began in 2023, and it was eventually traced back to a man named Ron Guest, whose relative contacted McCartney about returning the stolen instrument. The Lost Bass Project, led by journalists Scott and Naomi Jones, persisted in the search and expressed gratitude to everyone who contributed to the effort.
