The guitar used by John Lennon for The Beatles' first ever single, 'Love Me Do', was recently located after it had been lost for 50 years and is set to be sold at auction.
The J-160E Gibson was used by Lennon in 1962 but mysteriously disappeared in 1963, thought to be lost forever. Now, an amateur musician named John McCaw claims to have purchased the item for "a few hundred dollars" in San Diego during the 1970s.
The guitar is set to be sold at Los Angeles at auction house Julien’s Auctions from November 6-7. It's expected to fetch between £400,000 ($600,000) and £500,000 ($800,000).
