uptall: LOS ANGELES - A guitar stolen from the late John Lennon in the 1960s sold for $2.41 million on Saturday at an auction in Beverly Hills, California, fetching one of the highest prices ever for an item of rock and roll memorabilia.
The 1962 J-160E Gibson acoustic guitar had for decades been in the possession of John McCaw, a novice musician who bought it in the late 1960s without knowing it had been stolen from the legendary Beatle several years before, said auctioneer Darren Julien.
Half of the proceeds from the sale of the guitar, which was stolen from Lennon at a December 1963 Christmas concert, will go toward the Spirit Foundation, a charitable organisation that he and his widow, Yoko Ono, created, Julien said.
The instrument's authenticity was determined by its matching serial number and wood grain, among other things, Julien said.
The buyer, who paid $2.41 million at a Julien's Auctions event, has asked to remain anonymous, Julien said.
Though only in Lennon's possession for just over a year, the guitar had an illustrious history.
Lennon bought it at a Liverpool music shop in 1962 and used it on recordings of a number of Beatles songs, including P.S. I Love You and Love Me Do, according to Julien's Auctions. He also is said to have strummed it while writing several Beatles hits with Paul McCartney, such as I Want To Hold Your Hand and All My Loving.
"It's such an important part of Lennon's career and Beatles history," Julien said. "I knew it would go over $1 million; I had no idea it would go over $2 million."
The price far surpasses the $965,000 paid at a 2013 Christie's auction for the electric guitar Bob Dylan played at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, where he shocked folk traditionalists with a set of rock songs.
But according to Guinness World Records, the most expensive guitar sold at auction was a Fender Stratocaster signed by the likes of Keith Richards, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney and others. It sold for $2.7 million at a 2005 charity auction in Qatar.

I can understand, in a way, but it'd be a car of some sort for me, and likely not something someone famous had ever owned. I'd have little issue with spending millions on vehicles if I had the money, but probably not a guitar, but that's not my thing. I can understand if it's your's.
Thing I don't get is, why so many women don't want their man spending money on a project in the garage, that keeps them home, and will in all likelihood appreciate in value as time goes on. Yet, some women are ok with someone buying a 2.4 million dollar guitar.
I'm not here to try and make sense of all life's mysteries, but some of them do make me wonder if one isn't better off with a garage full of projects and a few furry critters around for company.
