These days crowd sourcing is all the rage, so dust off that GoFundMe account and get ready to tell your parents you need $300,000.

What could that kind of money get you? how about the first electric guitar that George Harrison owned. You heard that right. Harrison donated his Hofner Club 40 back when the Beatles were going by ‘The Quarrymen’ to be used in a band competition. The winner of that competition passed away last year, so his widow contacted auctioneers Juliens to sell the item.

The Hofner Club 40, a small blonde and black hollow body hasn’t been seen in the public eye for over 50 years. John Lennon owned an almost identical model which sold at auction in 2009 for $337,226.

Harrison’s guitar will join a 1965 Fender Telecaster owned by Robbie Robertson and played by the likes of Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan. The auction will take place on May 19th in NYC.
