Thanks for posting this Steve. John Cummings was a long time client and friend of RR Auction. This video is bittersweet for some of us here, RIP Johnny.

I agree with you Chris. I see no value in the autographs but the instrument itself is cool.

I don't have the 1997 price but the provenance is clearly listed on Christies website when they resold this Hofner in 2003 for $ 7,170. THE BEATLES SIGNED GUITAR

Steve Cyrkin replied to Bobby Livingston's discussion 'The Only Known Beatles Signed Hofner Guitar...'

I read somewhere that the reason he didn't just lacquer over it is because it would affect the tone of the bass. I know hindsight is 20/20, but this guy was blind as a bat.

Steve Cyrkin replied to Bobby Livingston's discussion 'The Only Known Beatles Signed Hofner Guitar...'

What did the guitar sell for at Christie's in 1997, Bobby?

Dec 22, 2011

Steve Cyrkin replied to Bobby Livingston's discussion 'The Only Known Beatles Signed Hofner Guitar...'

Yep. It was an acoustic signed by all four Beatles, some of the Rolling Stones...maybe others. I've never seen it. I heard it sold in the later 1990s in the $60,000s.

It is a true shame.

I was thinking the same thing. its like taking a 1927 yankees team ball, and writing over the signatures.

Chris Sink replied to Bobby Livingston's discussion 'The Only Known Beatles Signed Hofner Guitar...'

Im sorry but i wouldnt want that bass other than maybe for the value of just the instrument. When the owner etched over the sigs, it completelly ruined it for me. To me its like its almost not an autograph anymore. Im sure it will still go for…

Mudslide?! Oh no! I haven't heard that story before. That might have ruined my day guys.

Dec 20, 2011

Steve Cyrkin replied to Bobby Livingston's discussion 'The Only Known Beatles Signed Hofner Guitar...'

It's actually the only Beatles-signed guitar known to exist. The other one died in a mudslide in Malibu in about 2004. It was not "embossed" like this one...*Sigh*

The Only Known Beatles Signed Hofner Guitar...

Beatles signed HofnerHofner bass guitar (circa 1959) originally signed in black ink by John Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison on June 6, 1964. Absolutely unique, and the only surviving guitar signed by multiple members of The Beatles during the 1960s. In very good condition, with dings to the body and surface loss along the edges. Originally offered by Christie's in South Kensington, London, on May…See More
