All guitarists think they can play bass 'cause it has only four strings.

Did I mention that I play bass?

Curious that this new-style 360 would be on the cover since it was only used by George for a very short time and is not one of the guitars closely associated with the Fabs.

Beatles guitar turns up at Montenegro school: report
(AFP) Updated: 2007-03-03 09:21
PODGORICA- A guitar that Paul McCartney threw into a crowd decades ago during a Beatles concert in Britain has turned up at a school in Montenegro, a report said Friday. McCartney had tossed the Hofner Violin bass guitar into the audience after its neck broke, said the Vesti newspaper without mentioning the year of the concert. Milan Dobrilovic, a Montenegrin cameraman, said he had received the guitar from his cousin Dario Persi who was the fan who caught the instrument. Dobrilovic recently donated the guitar to a music school in Herceg Novi, a tiny town on the country's Adriatic coast. The violin-shaped Hofner guitar was made famous by McCartney, who adopted it in 1961 and still uses the same model. Guitars proven to have been owned by former Beatles members including McCartney and John Lennon have sold at auction for up to 330,000 pounds (640,000 dollars) in recent years.
