Guitar Played by Tommy Emmanuel in 2000 Olympics Closing Ceremony

Olympic Guitar

January 21st, 2010

One of the hightlights of Tommy Emmanuel's career was getting to play guitar in the closing ceremonies of the 2000 Summer Olympics in Australia. Tommy had the Maton Guitar company of Australia build him a one of a kind electric guitar. As he told us, he wanted it bright, and his name very easy to read on the neck. You can see this performance on You Tube, and see him playing this very guitar - a true "one-of-a-kind." Tommy has donated this guitar to Guitar Ministries for us to auction off and raise money for the ministry. CLICK ON THE "VIEW SOURCE DOCUMENT" LINK AT THE LOWER RIGHT to watch this performance. (The clip title says it is the opening ceremony, but we were told it was the closing ceremony.)

NOTE: Contact us if you are interested in purchasing any of Tommy's guitars.
