John Lennon's vintage Hofner Senator guitar, accompanied by a letter written by George Harrison that confirmed it belonged to him, sold Wednesday at Christie's auction house for £205,250 (roughly $335,331.00 at current exchange rates).

The guitar had been estimated to sell from £100,000 to 150,000, according to the auction house (roughly $163,379 to $245,069 at current exchange rates).

The buyer's name was not released by the auction house because of client confidentiality.
