Julien's Auctions just announced that John Lennon's long-lost Framus 12-string Hootenanny acoustic guitar will be part of their two-day Music Icons auction taking place Wednesday, May 29, and Thursday, May 30, live at New York's Hard Rock Cafe and online.
The guitar is the same one Lennon used during the recording of the Help! album and film. It is being billed as "the most important Beatles guitar ever to come to market," with an estimated sale price of between $600,000 - $800,000, although it's expected to go for more and set a world record for the highest price for a Beatles guitar.
