The Gibson guitar played by both George Harrison and John Lennon was sold to an anonymous bidder for US$567,500.

The cherry-red SG Standard guitar belonged to Harrison from 1966 through 1969. Harrison used the guitar in recording sessions and in several rare public appearances. He loaned the guitar to Lennon during sessions for the 'White Album'.

The buyer wishes to remain anonymous, presumably to stop his mates dropping over for a twang!
