(Classic Rock) A guitar owned by late Beatles legend John Lennon has fetched $2.41 m at auction - while Kurt Cobain's iconic MTV Unplugged cardigan sweater sold for $140,800.

The Gibson J-160E acoustic is thought to have been used to write and record Beatles hits including Love Me Do and I Want To Hold Your Hand and was put up for sale at Julien's Auctions in Los Angeles where it was expected to fetch up to $800,000.

It ended up selling for $2.4m. The guitar mysteriously went missing 50 years ago before making its way to San Diego in the US where it was bought for a few hundred dollars by John McCaw. Read more and see the items and the tweets here.
