Harrison played the custom-made Fender Rosewood Telecaster during the filming of the movie Let It Be, said Bill Miller, president of Odyssey Auctions, the California auction house that conducted the sale on Saturday.
The January 30, 1969, performance on the roof of London’s Apple Records was the last time the band performed together in public, Miller said.
The winning bidder was an “anonymous West Coast collector”, the auction house said.
Harrison, 58, died of cancer on November 29, 2001.
The sale in Los Angeles was part of a two-day auction of entertainment and pop culture memorabilia.
