John Lennon’s Lost ‘Help!’ Guitar to Fetch Record Price at Auction

John Lennon’s iconic ‘Help!’ guitar, played during the making of the album and film, is headed to auction after spending decades in an attic. Discovered in the British countryside, the Framus 12-string acoustic guitar has an estimated value of $600,000 to $800,000, but experts believe it could surpass the $2.4 million record set by Lennon’s Gibson J160E in 2015. Auctioneers have hailed the discovery as ‘the greatest find of a Beatles guitar’ since the recovery of Paul McCartney’s lost Höfner bass guitar.
