TL;DR Summary

Paul McCartney's original 1961 electric Höfner bass, estimated to be worth $12.6 million, was found after being missing for over 50 years. The instrument, played on The Beatles' first two records and hits like "Love Me Do" and "She Loves You," was located with the help of a journalist and Höfner executive. It was stolen in 1972 and eventually ended up in the possession of a family who inherited it. The bass has been returned to McCartney, who is incredibly grateful for its recovery.
