Trashed Lennon Guitar On Sale
Mood:  amorous
Now Playing: Acoustic Guitar

An acoustic guitar found in a New York trash bin and thought to have belonged to John Lennon went on sale Monday with an auction price of nearly $2 million. Why so much? Well, mostly because the guitar was engraved with Lennon's trademark etchings including a self-portrait. The beaten up guitar is currently on offer at the US online auction website MomentsinTime.com. Lennon reportedly gave the guitar to a friend in the Seventies. It was passed on to the guy's in-laws before being tossed in the garbage. A maintenance man knew the family had the guitar and found it in 1981. "Beyond it being an instrument on which he played and composed, it's also an extraordinary work of hand-art created by Lennon," said the website's curator, Gary Zimet. The guitar also has a drawing of an apple and a heart pierced by an arrow.
