Rare, Lonnie Donegan signature guitar (13-72) as used by myself (Peter Donegan - Son of Lonnie).
My #1 guitar for stage and recording. Not only have I used this on The Voice UK 2019 and to accompany artists such as Leo Sayer and Van Morrison (See pictures) but it has been played by greats such as Skiffle legend Chas McDevitt (Freight Train), Billy Bragg, Mike Read, Chirs Difford (The Squeeze).
She has done me proud and the only reason she is being sold is that I need a Dreadnought, Martin, or similar.
I have fallen in love with this guitar over and over again as the sound and performance are fantastic.
PLEASE NOTE THIS GUITAR IS LISTED ON OTHER SITES AND CAN BE REMOVED AT ANY TIME.
