Irish Beatles fans and music lovers have the opportunity to lay their eyes on John Lennon’s long-lost guitar for one week only, before it is expected to fetch a record price at auction in the United States.

Lennon’s Framus 12-string hootenanny acoustic guitar was recently found in an attic in England after 50 years on the missing list. The guitar was used by Lennon in the recording of The Beatles’ Help! album and film, as well as featuring in some of the band’s greatest hits from the 1960s.
