Ed Sheeran has donated one of his acoustic guitars for a charity auction happening this month and it’s expected to achieve “way past its estimate.”
The singer has donated around 200 lots, including trainers, jackets, and Ipswich Town shirts, and he has even prized his musical instruments for charity.
He has donated them to raise money for the St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich, Suffolk.
Bishop & Miller Auctioneers in Stowmarket, Suffolk, will host the charity auction online at 7 p.m. on Sept. 26.
The auction’s signature lot is a Martin LXM acoustic guitar with custom paintwork that was used at one of Sheeran’s shows at the Air Canada Center in Toronto, Canada.
The guitar, a gift from Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, is adorned with custom paintwork to commemorate the show.
It has a guide price of $261 to $523 but is expected to fetch lots of interest. Auctioneers say they ” expect it to achieve way past its very modest estimate.”
Fans can also get their hands on Ed’s boxed Lego set, The Hobbit: An Unexpended Journey to board games, including Ipswich Monopoly.
Clare Chater, the director of income generation at St Elizabeth Hospice, said: “We’d like to thank Ed for his amazing generosity in donating such a fantastic series of items for the auction.
