Julien's Auctions said in a news conference at London's Hard Rock Cafe in Piccadilly Circus that the prized musical instrument will be for sale in its MUSIC ICONS auction slated for May 29-May 30.
The guitar - described by the auction house as 'one of the most historically important Beatles guitars in rock history' - will be sold from the Hard Rock Cafe in New York and online at juliensauctions.com.
The guitar was 'long forgotten and believed to have been lost' until it was 'recently found in an attic in the UK after being unseen for over 50 years,' according to Julien's.
'The discovery of John Lennon's Help! guitar that was believed to be lost is considered the greatest find of a Beatles guitar since Paul McCartney's lost 1961 Höfner bass guitar,' said Darren Julien, Julien's executive director and co-founder.
Julien said that 'finding this remarkable instrument is like finding a lost Rembrandt or Picasso, and it still looks and plays like a dream after having been preserved in an attic for more than 50 years.
'To awaken this sleeping beauty is a sacred honor and is a great moment for music, Julien's, Beatles and auction history.'
The auction house said that the sale of the instrument, amid the everlasting popularity of the Beatles, is projected to 'set a new world record for the highest-selling Beatles guitar.'
Help!, which was the iconic quarter's fifth studio album, was the soundtrack to the film of the same titled released in August of 1965. Among the most prominent tracks on the record include Yesterday, Ticket to Ride and You're Going to Lose That Girl.

The guitar was first seen in the mid-1960s, according to Julien's, as chronicled in the group's film and photos snapped by Sean O'Mahoney, who published the Beatles fan club magazine Beatle Monthly Book at the time, according to the auction house.
The specific tracks the guitar can be heard on in the album include the title track, You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, I've Just Seen A Face and It's Only Love, Julien's said.
Other tracks the distinctive musical instrument can be heard on include the 1965 Beatles track Girl and Norwegian Wood, from the group's Rubber Soul album released in December of that year.
The Beatles have past buoyed the auction house to world record sales, as previous sales include an acoustic guitar from Lennon that sold for $2.4 million; while Ringo Starr's Ludwig drum kit sold for $2.4 million; and a Ludwig Beatles Ed Sullivan Show drumhead sold for $2.1 million.
