Appreciated by industry professionals including Jeff Beck, Robert Smith, Iggy Pop, Joe Perry, Noel Gallagher… Philippe Dubreuille's guitars are distinguished by their strong identity. “I know exactly what the guitar will look like before I start the creation process.

For this event, a guitar and an amplifier will be associated with a charity sale whose funds will be donated in full to the - Charity shop Rock'n'roll rescue - in London. This money will be used to help the homeless as well as the Trussel Trust, the local food bank.
