While You Weren't Sleeping - S5-E9
Continuity mistake: In this episode Ben's bedroom window is to open towards some grassland with no houses opposite. However, in Season 2, Episode 4, Ben is by a neighbour across the street.
Revealing mistake: S9 E1 "Bully for Ben": When Ben hits the punch bag sideways, it's easy to tell that someone is controlling the punch bag as it never slows down.
Michael: The fact is, now that Mum's "hands-off", it's like there's two Bens, and one of you has to go.
Ben: What?
Michael: You're expendable.
Ben: Erm, I'm what... Expendable?
Michael: You see? That's another thing. You're very slow on the uptake.
Ben: Michael, are you firing me?
Michael: Very, very slow.
Ben: I don't believe this. You can't fire me. I quit years ago.
Trivia: For the entire first season, the hinges on the front door are on the right and the stairs have a corner at the bottom. However in all seasons after this, the hinges on the front door are on the left and the stairs go straight down to the floor, no corner. (Some sets do sometimes change between the pilot episode and episode 2, but I have never seen something change after a whole season.)

Answer: Easy. He could have got the guitar at any point in his life. As for keeping it in the attic? You're not going to throw out a £1000 guitar any time soon.
