Santa Monica’s music-inspired gallery Wild About Music will host a silent auction of a signed Greg Bennett guitar to benefit the New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund.
Samick Guitars donated a Worthington acoustic guitar designed by Greg Bennett to support the personal fundraising efforts for the New Orleans Musicians Hurricane Relief Fund. This acoustic electric cutaway guitar has a solid spruce top, mahogany sides, Grover tuners, EQT active EQ with built in tuner and a hard shell case. Several notable LA musicians signed the guitar during the LA Music Awards. The guitar is valued in excess of $800, but bidding will start at $500.
Wild About Music is located at 1450 Second St., just off the Third Street Promenade. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, and 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The auction will run June 29 through July 16. For more information call (310) 899- 3114 or visit http://samickguitar.com/om5ce.html.
