$25K + Guitar

I had the amazing opportunity to shoot Mike Campbell's guitar this morning in the studio. If you're too young, Mike plays with Tom Petty in the Heartbreakers. My neighbor and all around good guy, Nathan Fawley distributes the best guitars you can buy: Duesenberg. Mike uses Duesies and decided to give this one, that is just like the one he played during the Superbowl 42 halftime show, up for auction after he and the whole band signed it. They also signed a notice of authenticity to go along with it. The guitar will be auctioned off during the Breeder's Cup next week- the proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. It is expected to bring in a huge amount of money- if it gets high enough there will be an additional secret gift for the highest bidder!!!

I was a little freaked out even touching this thing and having it in the studio- it's irreplaceable!




So cool!!!

UPDATE: Due to the fact that most of the bidders had lost huge amounts of money in the stock market the bidding was a little flat. The guitar sold for $25K, an impressive amount of money going straight to the Susan G. Komen Foundation.
