George Harrison's guitar sold for eye-watering sum after Antiques Roadshow
A rare guitar that was owned by Beatles legend George Harrison sold for a huge price, following an appearance on the Antiques Roadshow.
The fretless guitar made by Bartells of California was a prototype and is believed to be the only one that was ever made.
Owner Ray spoke about how he came to own the guitar, he said: "During the 70s and 80s I was doing a lot of recording sessions and I worked with George Harrison.
"George was playing the guitar and he said 'I'm not sure what to do with this, here you go, have a go'"
Ray said he then played a few notes and then George said: "You're getting more out of it than me, why don't you keep it."
There was also a photograph of George with the same guitar in his home, proving that he had owned it.
