Hootenanny acoustic guitar has been
sold by Julien's Auctions for $2,857,500.

$2.4 million in 2015, previously held the record.

honored to have set a new world
record with the sale of John
Lennon’s lost Hootenanny guitar, David Goodman, chief executive at Julien’s Auctions, via statement.

a testament to the timeless
appeal and reverence of the

The Hootenanny acoustic guitar was played by both Lennon and George Harrison while making 'Help!' and 'Rubber Soul.'.
It later fell into the hands of Scottish singer-songwriter Gordon Waller who
gifted it to one of his road managers.
50 years later, the guitar was found in
an attic in Britain, and the original guitar
case was rescued from the trash.
Darren Julien, co-founder of Julien’s Auctions, referred
to the discovery as "the greatest find of a Beatles guitar
since Paul McCartney’s lost 1961 Höfner bass guitar." .
Finding this remarkable instrument
is like finding a lost Rembrandt or
Picasso, and it still looks and plays like
a dream after having been preserved
in an attic for more than 50 years. , Darren Julien, co-founder of Julien’s Auctions, via statement.
