The guitar comes in a case with three unique colour photos of Dolly Parton, Nanci Griffith and Beth Nielsen Chapman herself, all holding the guitar, plus fifteen CDs featuring some of the artists.

Beth couldn't be happier to help such a wonderful cause. At the end of the day, the auction for Children In Need raised a record breaking �411,000!
