Plant signed the guitar after a chance meeting with fundriaser Tony Meeham at a gig by Terry Reid at the Robin 2 club in Bilston on May 22.
It’s an Ibanez bearing the Zeppelin frontman’s signature.
Says Meehan: “Following our meeting, I was absolutely blown away that, on the spot Robert agreed to donate the signed Ibanez Guitar.
“What a thoughtful and kind gesture by such a legend! An amazing opportunity to own a guitar from such a great man, surely not to be missed.”
Meehan has raised to date £85,000 for local charities thanks to the generosity of local people
Bids for the guitar are invited by email to katatonia@hotmail.co.uk
In the meantime Plant has announced a homecoming gig for the Black Country on an intimate UK tour.
The singer, who was born in West Bromwich and is vice-president of Wolverhampton Wanderers FC, will be performing at Wolverhampton Civic Hall with his Sensational Space Shifters on September 2.
