Legendary guitar builder Andy Manson, father of Led Zeppelin’s instantly recognisable tripleneck guitar has put his ultimate creation “The Mermaid” up for sale exclusively on Shop4thelot.com, vowing to donate half the proceeds to charity.
Taking just under thee years to build, Andy has decided to sell his work of art to the highest bidder, looking to raise six figures and donate half to charity Harvest Help, an organisation supporting communities in rural Africa, helping them with sustainable farming projects and increasing self-reliance.
Andy said, “As you can imagine, with the time, effort and materials used in her construction, she is worth a considerable sum. As I stand to make a lot of money from her, I want her existence to benefit others—not just myself and the winning bidder. Naturally, I would love to see her go to a guitar player though.”
