After more than 50 years without being touched 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.
The 12-string acoustic guitar was manufactured by the German company Framus and was found in an attic in the interior of Britain.
After belonging to John Lennon, the instrument was passed on to the Scottish musician Gordon Waller. Waller then handed the guitar to his road managers. Years later, it was auctioned off for $1.91 million last Wednesday (29) at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York.
“This guitar is not only a piece of music history but a symbol of John Lennon’s enduring legacy,” said Julien’s Auctions CEO David Goodman.
