“One of the most important Beatles guitars ever to come to the auction block”: John Lennon’s lost Help! Framus 12-string has become one of the most expensive guitars to ever sell at auction
John Lennon’s Framus Hootenanny acoustic guitar, which was found in an attic after disappearing for 50 years, has become one of the most expensive guitars ever sold at auction.
The discovery of the 12-string guitar – famed for featuring on the Help! recording sessions in the ‘60s – was announced last month at an unveiling in London hosted by auctioneers, Julien’s Auctions.
