In 1965, John Lennon gifted a Framus 12-string Hootenanny guitar to musician Gordon Waller. This guitar was used during the studio sessions for the Beatles’ album ‘Help!’ and the film of the same name. It has now been discovered in an attic in southern England, after remaining there for over 50 years.
The long-lost guitar holds significant historical value, as it was used by Lennon during a pivotal time in the Beatles’ career. The auction house, Julien’s Auctions, has decided to restore the guitar so that it can be played once again. This iconic piece of rock and roll history is set to be auctioned off at the end of May, with an estimated price between $600,000 and $800,000.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the auction at the end of May to see who will be the lucky new owner of this iconic piece of rock and roll history. Music enthusiasts and collectors alike are excited about this discovery, as it offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history that played an important role in shaping one of the most influential bands in music history.
