Lennon's Framus 12-string
Hootenanny acoustic guitar has been
sold by Julien's Auctions for $2,857,500.
According to 'Rolling Stone,'
that is "a new record for the
highest-selling guitar at auction
in the Beatlesâ history.".
Lennon's Gibson J160E, which was sold for
$2.4 million in 2015, previously held the record.
We are absolutely thrilled and
honored to have set a new world
record with the sale of John
Lennonâs lost Hootenanny guitar, David Goodman, chief executive at Julienâs Auctions, via statement.
This guitar is not only a piece of
music history but a symbol of
John Lennonâs enduring legacy. , David Goodman, chief executive at Julienâs Auctions, via statement.
Todayâs unprecedented sale is
a testament to the timeless
appeal and reverence of the
Beatlesâ music and John Lennon, David Goodman, chief executive at Julienâs Auctions, via statement.
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 Julienâs Auctions, referred
to the discovery as "the greatest find of a Beatles guitar
since Paul McCartneyâs 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 Julienâs Auctions, via statement.
To awaken this sleeping
beauty is a sacred honor, Darren Julien, co-founder of Julienâs Auctions, via statement
