The guitar which Beatle John Lennon played on the Beatles hit single Love Me Do is expected to fetch in excess of £600,000 (825,000 euros) at auction in November in California.
The J-160E Gibson Acoustic guitar, which the musician had bought in Liverpool, went missing in 1963 during the Beatles' Finsbury Park Christmas Show. However, it showed up again 50 years later, bought by one John McCaw in a US store.
Darren Julien from Julien's Auctions, called the guitar "one of biggest finds in music history," as reported in The Telegraph. Julien declares that the guitar could exceed the $965,000 (868,000 euros) auction record set in 2013 for an electric guitar owned by Bob Dylan.
"John Lennon items don't come up very often because a lot of people keep them, “ the auctioneer revealed. “This was one of his favourite guitars, he talked about wishing he still had it,"
