A custom-made electric guitar played by John Lennon and George Harrison of the Beatles sold at a New York auction Saturday for $408,000, auctioneers said.

The Vox guitar (above) was sold to an unidentified US buyer at the “Music Icons” event organized by Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Julien’s Auctions and held at the Hard Rock Cafe in Manhattan.

Julien’s said previously it expected the guitar to fetch between $200,000 and $300,000.

The guitar was a prototype that Vox built for Lennon in 1966. Harrison played the instrument, distinguished by two symmetrical flared shoulders, while practicing “I Am The Walrus,” and Lennon used it in a video session for the song “Hello, Goodbye,” according to a statement from Julien’s Auctions.
