Many of you might remember the things I have posted on this blog about Tony Saks

To jog your memory, Tony met the Beatles at the Plaza Hotel in 1964 when he worked with a guitar company. The Beatles tried one of the guitars and decided not to purchase it. Tony bought it and decided to have the Beatles sign it when they came through Baltimore on September 13, 1964. So they singed the guitar in gold lettering (the type used to put gold letters on Bible covers). Then in the late 70's - early 80's Tony was hitting the Beatle convention circuit with the guitar and calling himself the "World's Oldest Beatlemaniac."
Well, I obtained some of achieves of Tony's and while it is copies of stuff and not in the best condition, it is still neat to see. Today there is speculation of the guitar was actually signed by the Beatles and I think the actual guitar's whereabouts are unknown. But these documents make you believe that the signatures are genuine, but honestly we will never know.

Several months ago, Mike Suley sent in this photo that was taken with the guitar in 1986. He said that Tony was energetic and happy to talk about getting the guitar signed. I wish I could have met the man myself.
