Very nice Ken, but just a little too expensive for me Image
Buy it before someone else does.

Regarding the print above- Looks like Paul's gotta play his bass through a guitar amp, and poor George can't afford an amp at all! I'll go $9.95 and that's it! (LoL)

Oh- it also appears the Beatles were an instrumental group, as there are no mics or stands!

It's actually a pretty classy print. I like it. Not for that scratch though.

These have been on here and there for a couple of months now, it seems. Prints are a good way to turn a few cents' worth of paper and ink into a huge profit, with the addition of a little smoke and mirrors and seasoned with a good deal of BS.

John's Ric is too big to be a 325.
Otherwise, Great picture - I'd hang it in the house.

Ah what computers can do. Maybe Jocko is in on this. He needs some extra bux to pay his lawyers.

Or maybe to buy that Italian 360S on the 'Bay...

The biggest thing wrong with this print is the guitar stands. Did you ever see a picture of the Beatles playing where there was a guitar stand anywhere in the room?!?

If they want to to be vintage 1964, the Hofner should have a pickguard. McCartney's pickguard was removed in 1966, around the time of their last tour. It would be more period correct to have p/g in place.

I've seen photos of the Beatles on stage with Lennon's J-160E and McCartney's '61 Hofner on Hamilton stands.

I saw this print when it first came out in Liverpool. It is very nice but what really let's it down for me is the fact that the guitars are not in scale with each other!
