John Lennon’s long lost Gibson guitar up for sale

A rare, once-lost 1962 guitar belonging to former Beatles member John Lennon will go up for auction this year and could break a record, Julien's Auctions said on Thursday.

The jumbo J-160E Gibson Acoustic guitar, purchased by Lennon in Liverpool, is expected to fetch between $600,000 and $800,000 when it goes on sale on Nov. 6 at an auction of rock'n'roll memorabilia in Beverly Hills.

Darren Julien, owner of Julien's Auctions, called the guitar "one of biggest finds in music history," and said its sale could top the $965,000 auction record . . .
