Surely no one would buy a guitar like that to play it?

There a very few verified Beatles guitars which have come on to the market - I believe Yoko still has all of Lennon’s - so I guessing this will do ‘very well’....

The story and the chronology look to be generally sound.

OK - I can hear one or two of you feeling a bit nervous about Roy Barber's widow selling the guitar to Music Ground in 2002.

did somebody want to hold their hand and did they need any help or did it come together easily, maybe they should have let it be before they let the taxman in and cause misery across the universe.
