Which Beatle Guitar Would You Want to Have if You Could Have One?

If you could have one of their guitars which would it be? I have included most of the popular ones but if there's another not listed mark 'other' and comment on which one. The guitar has to still be around somewhere and is given to you as is.
Me, the Rick 325 with Bigsby, John's first Rickenbacker. Though Paul's Hofner and Rik are close.

George’s Country Gent or Tennesseen

 

Macca's 1963 Hofner is probably worth the most, so I'd take that.

 

George's first Rick 12-string.

(this thread inspired by our discussion over here --> Beatles Gear: The Ultimate Edition --> my book review )

 

I don't play a guitar, have no plans to start learning. So, I agree with you whole-heartedly. I go for the most iconic.......... and that's worth a few quid

 

Not listed:
John’s Lake Placid Blue Stratocaster.
George got one at the same time, mid-1965.
George painted his abs turned it into “Rocky”.

 

One of their j160e Gibsons, whichever was/wasn't stolen!

 

Macca's Hofner

 

Of course. It's in Help, with a paint job, and in Let it Be without.

 

Paul's Rickenbaker 4001. No contest!

 

WAsnt one of those destroyed after it off car or van?

 

Yeah on another day I would have picked that too

 

Whichever one would fetch the most $$$...

 

Another vote for the J-160E. Unique sounding rhythm (think Hard Day’s Night or Should’ve Known Better) guitar. Dirty raunchy plugged in (think Twist and Shout). Their secret weapon.

 

It

wasn’t in Help

 

Other - Ringo's

 

When I first read the title of this thread I didn’t see the word “guitar”. I thought the question was which beatle would you want!
I’d go with Ringo, he would probably be the funnest to hang out with

The Hofner Club 40

 

This... don't think it was an option? or did i miss...

 

Went with the Rick 12 string. I believe the rosewood Tele weighs a ton.

 

George’s cherry Les Paul as played in the Revolution clip.
Given to him by Eric Clapton IIRC, maybe there’s someone here who knows a little bit about this and can confirm or correct me.

 

What clinches it for me is that he also played that in Wings. When I was a kid I had Wings pics and posters all over the place, and he's got that bass in all of them.
