Guitar used by John Lennon breaks records and becomes the most expensive musical instrument from the Beatles ever sold at auction. The famous guitar was auctioned off for $1.91 million.
After more than 50 years without being played or seen, John Lennon’s guitar used to record the album “Help!” was sold for over $1.91 million at auction. The guitar became the most expensive Beatles musical instrument ever sold at auction.
This 12-string acoustic guitar was manufactured by the German company Framus and was found in an attic in the British countryside.
After being in John Lennon’s hands, the instrument passed to Scottish musician Gordon Waller. Waller then passed the guitar to his road managers. Years later, it was auctioned off for $1.91 million last Wednesday (May 29) at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York.
“This guitar is not just a piece of music history, but also a symbol of John Lennon’s lasting legacy,” said Julien’s Auctions CEO David Goodman.
