Picture MUST credit: Julien's Auctions A guitar owned by Beatle George Harrison for the band's first groundbreaking residencies in the German port of Hamburg, has sold for $1.27 million USD / €1.21 million euros at auction The Czech-made solid body 1958 Resonet Futurama in a sunburst finish was described as "one of the holy grails of historic Beatles guitars” and was used on over 324 gigs by Harrison. It was his go-to instrument as the embryonic group became the house band at two Hamburg clubs between 1960 and 1961. The auction price of exactly $1,270,000 USD , with 16 bids, was twice the estimated sale value when it went under the hammer at US saleroom Julien's Auctions on November er 20. Julien's executive director Martin Nolan said: "George Harrison's iconic Futurama guitar, one of the most important guitars in rock and roll history and formative to The Beatles' sound, has made history at today's auction. "We're beyond thrilled to add this Harrison guitar to the Julien's Auctions million-dollar club, which already includes guitars from John Lennon, Eric Clapton, and Kurt Cobain.” In 1964, at the height of worldwide Beatlemania, Harrison donated the guitar to the UK magazine Beat Instrumental as a competition prize. The winner decided to take cash instead of the instrument which then stayed with the magazine's editor Sean O'Mahony. It's lowest pre-sale estimate was $600,000 USD / €569.750.
