The VOX guitar was used both by John Lennon and George Harrison and anticipated to sell between $200,000 and $300,000 at an auction in New York‘s Hard Rock Cafe on Saturday.
The custom-made instrument is the main lot in the Julien’s Auctions sale.
Harrison used it while practicing I am the Walrus and Lennon while recording a video session for Hello, Goodbye.
It was given by Lennon to Apple Records electronics engineer Yanni “Magic Alex” Mardas in 1967, Julien’s said.
It’s a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the rarest pieces of Beatles memorabilia ever to be offered,” the auction house said.
