Harrison guitar goes for nearly 1/2 million

 

 

 

 

 

A guitar George Harrison borrowed from a repair shop and liked so much that he continued using it after his own instrument had been fixed  brought a mega-buck bid of $490,000 from an anonymous collector during the Jullien's auction at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City Friday (5/15).  The Mastersound electric guitar was played by Harrison during a number of early Beatle performances.  A Jimi Hendrix vest sold for just shy of $60,000, a Vegas worn jumpsuit belonging to Elvis brough a top bid of $122,000 and the marriage certificate from when The King & Priscilla hitched in 1967 sold for $40,000.  The event's king-sized collectible; a totally tricked-out tour bus Elvis bought for his backing band the year before his death, complete with chandelier-like lighting fixtures and the TCB lightening bolt Elvis log on the side, complete with the $25,000 check Presley wrote for it the day it was delivered.
