Gibson Gives Fundraiser Auction: Rare Guitars and Rock 'n' Roll Memorabilia Up for Grabs!
Gibson has partnered with Julien's Auctions for a fundraiser to support Gibson Gives, featuring unique guitars and memorabilia up for auction. Among the highlights are two custom builds by Gibson CEO Cesar Gueikian, including an SG played by Kirk Hammett at a Metallica show.
The auction includes rare guitars, amps, and rock 'n' roll collectibles, such as Elvis Presley's service bayonet and a signed Gibson Custom Explorer by Cheap Trick. Other items include a stage-played Kramer Lzzy Hale Voyager and a custom Dave Petillo semi-hollow owned by Danny DeVito.
Several artist-signed Les Pauls are also up for auction, along with Gueikian's unique creations, the SG CEO#4 and the Flying V CEO#8, featuring his Ghost Burst finish. These guitars pay tribute to iconic musicians like Tony Iommi and are signed by Kirk Hammett.
The guitars have special significance, with CEO#4 being played by Hammett at a Metallica show honoring Black Sabbath, while CEO#8 was played by Gueikian himself at a Mana concert. Bidding for these exclusive instruments and other Gibson lots is open now on Julien's Auctions website.
Don't miss your chance to own a piece of music history and support a good cause by participating in the auction event on 20-21 Nov at 10:00am CST in Nashville.
