Beatles guitar to be auctioned in New York.
Guitarwhich John Lennon and George Harrison called Help! and Rubber Soul albums will be sold at an auction that will take place on May 29-30 in New York.
The matter has been reported, among other things The Guardian.
The guitar is a twelve-string Hootenanny model made by Bavarian Framus in the early 1960s. The guitar was primarily used by Lennon and it also appears in the Beatles movie Help!. Harrison, on the other hand, has played with it Norwegian Wood in the paragraph.
The owners of the guitar had forgotten that they owned the guitar they had received as a gift From Gordon Waller. Waller was the second member of the Peter and Gordon pop duo that performed in the 1960s. The duo once did well in the charts by recording many Paul McCartney’s composed songs.
“Finding this remarkable instrument is like having lost it Rembrandtin this Picasso’s discovery. It still looks incredible and sounds like a dream,” described the find Darren Julienwhose company Julien’s Auctions organizes the auction.
Julien traveled to Britain himself to check the guitar. He says he verified the instrument’s origin with Beatles historians Andy Babiukin and Danny Bennettin through.
According to Julien, the wood grain visible on the guitar is like a fingerprint, that every guitar is unique.
“The reasons for this guitar are the same as the guitar played by John and George.”
In the same auction in New York, for example, the frontman of Nirvana is also sold Kurt Cobainin written by the gig’s playlist, a hip-hop star Tupac Shakur’s handwritten lyrics and singer Amy Winehousen Fendi dress.
