James Blunt Signs 10-foot Guitar for GuitarTown London

by Staff.

James Blunt dropped by the Gibson Guitar Studio in London to sign his hand-painted 10-foot Gibson Les Paul replica guitar sculpture. The free standing fiber glass guitar was specially designed by Dorset-based visual artist Paul Hart and features James’s face on the base with the graphics and colours in the style of his number one selling album Back To Bedlam. The unique guitar will form part of the Gibson Guitartown London charity campaign and be displayed publicly at More London by Tower Bridge, London SE1, from June 25 for ten weeks. Following the display, James Blunt’s signed guitar will be auctioned off to raise money for The Prince’s Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust, and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy.

"My 10 foot Gibson Les Paul guitar looks great. Gibson Guitartown London should be a huge success, raising money for three worthy charities and I'm very happy to be associated with the campaign." said James Blunt.

James Blunt is currently putting the finishing touches to his highly anticipated second studio album All The Lost Souls due out on Monday, September 17. In the meantime, James will be one of the performing artists at The Live Earth Concert being held at the new Wembley Stadium on July 7, 2007.
