Music news R.E.M.-autographed Gretsch Guitar offered at AthFest benefit
Posted by Chad Radford @ChadRad on Fri, Jun 13, 2008 at 1:55 PM
To help raise funds to for AthFest's "educational efforts," the Savannah-based Gretsch Guitars is donating a new hollow body Brian Setzer model Gretsch Nashville guitar to be put up for auction on eBay.
A guitar such as this would normally retail for about $3,150.00. But what makes it a target for collectors, and/or wealthy philanthropists is that it has been signed by all four original members of R.E.M. ...and yes, for those who are doing the math, it means that even retired drummer Bill Berry gave his John Hancock for the benefit of AthFest.
The auction will begin on Wed., June 18 and ends Friday on June 27.
