All in all, they produced very few of these microphones (under 2000 is the best data I&#8217;ve found). There&#8217;s a real chance that one of the Fab Four sang, spat, and emoted into this mic!<\/p>\n<p>This one shows very little signs of wear, and sounds just phenomenal. See pictures for condition, there is one very small dent on one side of the grill.
