The Beatles Story museum in Liverpool have confirmed that they now have the first guitar ever bought by George Harrison on display. The guitar has been donated by a British collector who recently acquired the instrument off a fan in the US. Originally bought in the mid-1950s for three pounds and 10 shillings experts reckon the guitar is now worth £500,000.
Museum curator Sandy Quayle told reporters that the guitar "captures the very birth of George's musical legacy and the legacy of the Beatles. It is a simple, cheap guitar but to me that makes it all the more beautiful."
