“One of the most important guitars in rock and roll history”: George Harrison’s Futurama smashes auction estimate and sets a new record with staggering $1.27 million sale
George Harrison’s Futurama has just become the most expensive Beatles electric guitar to ever sell at auction, selling for $1.27 million as part of Julien’s hotly anticipated Played, Worn and Torn auction event.
The record-breaking sale sees the Futurama absolutely shatter its pre-auction upper estimate of $800,000, with the oddball electric trumping the likes of Eric Clapton’s ‘Blackie’, Bob Dylan’s Newport Fender Strat, and David Gilmour’s Martin D-35 to also become one of the most expensive guitars ever sold at auction.
