The guitars will complete a "tour" of Nashville and then be sold at a Gala Auction by Julien's Auctions with the proceeds benefiting the following non-profit organizations and charities: the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, the Nashville Downtown District, Country Music Hall of Fame and the United Way Nashville.

The GuitarTown project is administered through the Gibson Foundation, a Division of the Gibson Guitar Corp., which is dedicated to improving the quality of life through its support of the arts, education, health & welfare and environmental causes.
