John Lennon?s Acoustic guitar has sold for $2.4 million at auction.
The Gibson J-160E guitar that Lennon recorded and wrote some of his greatest hits like, "Love Me Do," ''I Want to Hold Your Hand" and more, sold Saturday to an undisclosed buyer.
In 1962 the guitar was one of only two of its type flown from America to England for Lennon and George Harrison. Lennon used the guitar for about a year before swapping it with Harrison; it later went missing in 1963.
Nobody knew what happened to the guitar for over 50 years but than a Californian man discovered last year that he has a guitar in his possession that could have an historical value. An expert determined that the instrument is the one that Lennon used due to its unique markings.
