GuitarTown 2012 Launches, Featuring Work By Shepard Fairey, Tristan Eaton, DeeKay
Last night, round two of Gibson GuitarTown was unveiled during an invitation-only event at Hornburg's showroom on The Sunset Strip. The new round of guitars features work by renowned local and national artists, including Shepard Fairey, Tristan Eaton and fellow street artists DeeKay, Free Humanity and Smog City. The guitars celebrate a range of musicians who have influenced The Sunset Strip, including Buffalo Springfield, T-Rex, Jane's Addiction, Rage Against The Machine and Van Halen, among others.
The initial nine 10-foot tall art guitars will be on display along The Sunset Strip starting today through November. After their "tour" of The Strip, the guitars will be auctioned for charity. GuitarTown also plans to unveil an additional 15 guitars later this spring.
