John Lennon’s ‘Help!’ Guitar Headed to Auction After Spending the Last 50 Years in an Attic
After spending the past 50 years in an attic, John Lennon's lost 'Help! guitar is headed to auction next month.
George Harrison playing John Lennon's lost Framus 12-string Hootenanny guitar while Paul McCartney watches. Fifty years later, it was discovered in an attic in the British countryside, while the original guitar case (made by the Australian company Maton) was found in the trash and rescued. Other highlights include a Fender P Bass played by U2’s Adam Clayton (plus Clayton’s stage-worn Rick Owens t-shirt, pants, and sneakers); Mick Mars’ signed Girls Girls Girls Kramer KM-1 guitar (used in Mötley Crüe’s “You’re All I Need” music video); Tina Turner’s custom Versace dress worn during the “Wildest Dreams” tour in the mid-Nineties; and a pair of Onitsuka Tiger high-top sneakers Freddie Mercury wore on stage in 1979, along with the singer’s red vinyl pants.
