This was taken at The Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas when I went to see "LOVE" for my birthday. What makes this Hofner so special is it's signed by all four "Fabs" The Fab 4, and their biggest fan. Meeting Robert Plant, spring 1983. Can you tell I was a bit nervous meeting one of the legends whose voice makes up a large portion of the soundtrack of my life!
