honored to have set a new world

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." .

is like finding a lost Rembrandt or

a dream after having been preserved
in an attic for more than 50 years. , Darren Julien, co-founder of Julien’s Auctions, via statement.
To awaken this sleeping
beauty is a sacred honor, Darren Julien, co-founder of Julien’s Auctions, via statement
