A BEATLE’S GUITAR SELLS BIG AT AUCTION

 

George Harrison‘s Maton Mastersound guitar, used during the Beatles’ live performances in the summer of 1963, sold for $485,000 at Julien’s Auctions 
Friday. The auction, which focused entirely on unique items from throughout
music history, also featured a black sequined glove worn by Michael Jackson,
a stage-worn tank top donned by Madonna and Elvis Presley’s marriage
certificate and tour bus, but it was Harrison’s used guitar that sold for the
highest bid at the auction, which took place at New York’s Hard Rock Café.
