"I remember going along there, and there was this bass which was quite cheap. I couldn't afford a Fender. Even then, they seemed to be about £100. All I could really afford was about £30 ... so for about £30, I found this Höfner Violin Bass, and to me, it seemed like, because I was left-handed, it looked less daft because it was symmetrical. Didn't look as bad as a cutaway which was the wrong way round. So I got into that!”
In 1963, Höfner gave Paul their latest 'improved' model as reward for making their brand world famous and he still plays that guitar at concerts today, albeit insured for more than $4 million. Rumour has it that it still has the Apple rooftop setlist taped on the back. Paul's first Hamburg model was stolen from those same ‘Let It Be’ sessions in 1969 and its whereabouts remain unknown.
The high quality inks and materials used, combine to produce incredibly rich colours and detail with a light fastness guarantee in excess of 60 years indoor display life.

Employing the Découpe (cut-up) technique in which written text is cut up and rearranged to create a different and perhaps unexpected new narrative, David Lloyd has employed shards of lyrics to give discerning fans an opportunity to engage in 'discover the songs' beneath a foreground featuring an iconic and classic guitar. The Découpe concept can be traced back to at least the Dadaists of the 1920s, but was popularised in the late 1950s and early 1960s by writer William S. Burroughs and later employed by David Bowie, Kurt Cobain and Thom Yorke.

Framing Tips
I designed the print size to fit standard off the shelf frames in the US and Europe in order to save on costs for customers in their respective territories.
The 11.8 x 11.8" print (30 x 30cm including border) is signed with it's own individual limited edition number (1 of only 50) then laid on a sheet of tissue paper before being carefully rolled and placed inside a strong reinforced cardboard tube for shipping purposes. It will fit into a 12" x 12" frame, a 13" x 13" frame and a 14" x 14" depending how big the mount border you prefer (the one illustrated in the room with the lamp would be a 14" x 14" frame, whilst the frame with the smaller mount would fit a 12" x 12" frame.
