LOS ANGELES - The guitar played by George Harrison at the Beatles’ last concert in 1969 fetched $434,750 in a Hollywood auction conducted live and online recently.

The guitar, a custom-made Fender Rosewood Telecaster, was used by Harrison during the filming of the Beatles’ movie ‘Let it Be.’

Harrison also played it on January 30, 1969 when the Beatles performed on the rooftop of Apple Records in London, the last time the group played together, said Bill Miller, a president of Odyssey Auctions based in Corona, California.

The winning bidder was a West Coast collector who asked to remain anonymous.

Harrison had given the guitar to musician Delaney Bramlett in December 1969.
