A custom-made electric guitar played by the late John Lennon and George Harrison of the Beatles sold at a New York auction yesterday (Saturday May 18, 2013) for $408,000 (€318,000).
The semi-hollow-body guitar, manufactured by
the VOX company, was sold to an unidentified US buyer.
The auctioneers expected the
guitar, which was the centerpiece of Saturday’s sale, to fetch between
$200,000 and $300,000.
Harrison can be seen rehearsing with the guitar on I Am The Walrus during the Magical Mystery Tour of September 1967.
Lennon also played it in the promotional video for Hello, Goodbye, but it did not make it in the final cut. MORE HERE
