John Lennon.

Une guitare sur laquelle John Lennon a joué plusieurs titres des Beatles, longtemps considérée comme disparue, a été retrouvée récemment dans un grenier au Royaume-Uni. L’instrument sera mis en vente à la fin du mois de mai aux États-Unis.

La guitare Framus 12-string Hootenanny a été aperçue sur plusieurs photos des enregistrements en studio de l’album « Help ! » et dans le film du même nom mettant en vedette les Beatles, en 1965.

Le prix de l’instrument est estimé entre 600.000 et 800.000 dollars (environ 560.000 à 750.000 euros), a indiqué mardi la maison de vente new-yorkaise Julien’s Auctions.

La guitare aurait atterri à la suite d’un vol dans un grenier du sud de l’Angleterre, où elle a pris la poussière durant plus de cinquante ans. John Lennon lui-même avait donné l’instrument au musicien Gordon Waller en 1965, qui l’avait ensuite transmis à son manager. Ses héritiers ont ensuite retrouvé la guitare dans un grenier.

La maison en charge de la vente aux enchères a décidé de remettre la guitare en état afin que l’instrument puisse à nouveau être joué.
