A Birthday SG: More Than Just a Guitar

As the holiday season gears up, Gibson.com is delighted to report on a true goodwill story. Proud grandfather, Allan Tutt in Canada, hit on the brilliant idea of buying a Gibson guitar manufactured on the exact day of the birth of his grandson Ayden: 11-11-11.

Allan contacted Gibson Guitar President David Berryman, who set the wheels in motion to locate such a guitar, a Gibson SG, manufactured on that very day, which was quickly shipped to Mr. Tutt.

Mr. Tutt expressed his appreciation in a poem that wonderfully expresses the Christmas spirit:

“Ayden’s Gibson SG”
11-11-11

A Grandfather’s Gift To Ayden This Axe Be
Body & Souls Shared With Gibson SG
Freedom & Spirits Yet To Merge In Sustain
Destined For Love, Cherish & Play
Overcome All Weakness Despite All Your Pain
Gain Confidence & Strength Through Practise Each Day
Seek Perfection From Genius — Sit Not With Fools
Be Creative, Appreciate Tone, Balance & Rules
Forget Not Pause for Rest & Rest for Paws
Set Bars At Heights To Which Volumes Aspire In Awe
To Teach Is An Honour — Rock On Thy Mind Numb
A True Master of Music & Wise Man You Will Become
