Phoenix Getting Guitars Painted by Rockers
09/24/2005 2:15 PM, AP
Chicago fancifully painted fiberglass cows, the streets of Washington were decorated with donkeys and elephants, and now the Phoenix area is getting 10-foot guitars transformed by artists including Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Nicks and Alice Cooper.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Arizona hopes to raise $1 million by auctioning off 90 giant guitars painted by celebrities and local artists that will be on display across the metropolitan area from Monday through early February.
Along with Van Halen, Nicks and Cooper, guitars were painted or sponsored by Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), R-Ariz., Gavin DeGraw and Wayne Gretzky.
The guitars' paint jobs include sunsets, portraits, the Arizona flag and colorful mosaics.
