Thor's guitarist, John Leibel, one of Fireplant Guitars' endorsed guitarists, is a cancer survivor. While having his own custom electric guitar built for him under the Fireplant label, he and Fireplant Guitars owner, Justin Moreau, thought it would be good to find a way to give back and donate a guitar to raise funds for cancer research. Leibel chose the Lymphoma Research Center himself as it - needless to say - hits home with him in a very significant way.
The guitar being auctioned off is a Fireplant Guitars FP-1 neck-thru prototype in a matte gray and black body binding and a maple neck. While there is no reserve price set for the guitar auction just yet, Moreau hopes it will crack 4 digits, possibly rivaling the $3,000 amount raised for LAYN Rocks. |
Recently, Fireplant Guitars also donated a custom electric guitar for the Thomas Fire Benefit concert in Ventura, CA. The concert was put on to raise money to help the victims of the Thomas Fire in Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties. It featured acts such as Kevin Costner's Modern West, Colby Caillat, Olivia Newton John and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.
"We just want to do what's right," said Moreau. "If we can help those in need with our love of music, we will. We're proud of John and his winning battle against cancer, so we want to help more people get through it, too."
If you'd like to bid on the guitar for cancer research, the Viper Room is located at 8852 West Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood, CA 90069 - on the famous Sunset Strip.
