Lost: 1 Höfner Guitar
I'm probably going to show my ignorance here, but surely a Höfner guitar isn't unique. Why doesn't Paul just buy a replacement, he must be rich enough. Or can some kind musician enlighten me.

Some musicians regard guitars as simply tools of the trade, like a spanner is to a plumber.
Others become deeply sentimentally attached to specific instruments, especially if they have been through formative times in a musician's career, or been used on specific landmark recordings, and in this case it's both of those.
That explains why Sir Paul probably has a warehouse full of similar basses, but not this unique one, which is why he is keen to get it back if he can.

ynnaf - // McCartney was always the musical and song writing talent in the Beatles.(Okay Maxwells Silver Hammer was pretty dire.)Lennon was the leader of the band.McCartney was the musical genius that made the Beatles. //
I think if you look at the list of songs that John Lennon composed - the clue is in who sang the lead vocal - you will find that the honours are pretty evenly spread in terms of writing kudos.
Like all major bands, The Beatles are a product of the individual members, and the group would not have been as it was, or as successful as it was, without the individual membership involved.
It's therefore incorrect to assign any member as the 'leader' or as the 'main songwriter' - band dynamics are far more complex and involved than that - and if you read interviews with any of the Beatles, they will confirm that fact.

It depends entirely on the attitude of the individual musician - as I said, for some, guitars are simply tools of the trade, for others, they are as precious as family.
