Charity Auction Includes Gibson SG Guitar Signed by Ronnie Wood

by Staff.

Fans of Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and Pink Floyd's Roger Waters now have a chance to own a piece of rock 'n roll history. Gibson GuitarTown London, the capital’s most vibrant summer public art exhibition, announces that all 62 one-of-a-kind, hand-painted and signed Gibson guitars are now available for online absentee auction bidding at www.juliensauctions.com/londonguitartown.

This is your opportunity to bid exclusively for a rare Ronnie Wood hand-painted and signed Gibson SG guitar which features a detailed image of The Royal Albert Hall drawn in pastels on the body of the guitar. Also, a must have for any Pink Floyd fan is the Roger Waters signed Gibson SG guitar hand-painted by the acclaimed caricaturuist Gerald Scarfe which features the legendary Pink Floyd The Wall imagery covering the front, back and neck of the guitar. Both guitars are expected to bring high prices when they go under the hammer at the Gibson GuitarTown London charity auction event at indigO2 in London's O2 Arena on Tuesday, November 20, 2007. Both of these highly collectible guitars were displayed publicly around the O2 Arena from June 2007 to September 2007 attracting over 500,000 visitors.

“The craftsmanship of the Gibson guitars, the masterpieces created by the artists and the association of the musicians will no doubt set record prices from bidders around the world for these two guitars.” – Darren Julien, President/CEO Julien’s Auctions

"Both of these unique artist signed and hand-painted Gibson SG guitars are a reflection of the success that Gibson GuitarTown London has already been and I hope they both reach in excess of their reserve price for the nominated charities when they go to auction on the 20th November." - Henry Juszkiewicz Chariman and CEO of Gibson Guitar

Gibson GuitarTown London is a charity-inspired campaign bringing the power of music together with art to raise money for Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, The Prince’s Trust and Teenage Cancer Trust. All money raised from the sale of the guitars at auction will be split equally between the three designated charities.
