A global search for Paul McCartney’s missing 1961 Höfner guitar ended successfully when the Beatles pop star was reunited with his guitar in December. McCartney bought the musical instrument in 1961 in Hamburg, Germany, for $38. The guitar was used in some of the classic Beatles hits, including Love Me Do and She Loves You. It was stolen from the back of a van in West London in 1972.

The search for the instrument was initiated last year when McCartney urged manufacturers Höfner to find his long-lost guitar. Nick Wass for Höfner, and Scott and Naomi Jones, two journalists, headed the search project named The Lost Bass Project.

David Hasselhoff dropped a sprightly rendition of Jesus and Mary Chain’s “Head On” featuring the Cars’ Elliot Easton on guitar. The shoegaze cover will appear on Hasselhoff’s upcoming LP Open Your Eyes, out September 27th via Cleopatra Records.
The Baywatch icon stays true to the original “Head On,” which Jesus and Mary Chain released as a single in 1989, complete with synths, drum machine and layers upon layers of guitar feedback. “Makes you want to feel makes you want to try,” Hasselhoff sings, his voice swelling over a searing riff.
