Paul McCartney's autographed Hofner "violin" bass guitar sold for more than $64,000 US at a fundraiser for music charity Nordoff Robbins on Friday.
"I am delighted to have signed and donated this very special left-handed Hofner bass in order to raise funds for Nordoff Robbins," McCartney stated prior to the auction. "The work they do with music therapy transforms the lives of vulnerable children and adults across the U.K., and I hope the sale of this guitar raises a lot of money."
