Mon, 30 Jun 2008 08:06:24 +1000

Gibson Guitar is proudly supporting one of the summers most high profile concerts, the Nelson Mandela 90th Birthday Celebration.

Gibson Guitar has customised a one off Gibson Les Paul Studio guitar with the official concert artwork of a hand and Nelson Mandela's prison number 46664 emblazoned across the guitars body.

The guitar will be signed by the performing artists and presented to Nelson Mandela. The Nelson Mandela 46664 concert takes place at London's Hyde Park on the evening of Friday June 27.

Artists performing at the concert will include Amy Winehouse, Queen + Paul Rodgers, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds, Leona Lewis, Joan Baez, Sugababes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Razorlight as well as a dozen African artists including Johnny Clegg, Papa Wemba and the Soweto Gospel Choir. Will Smith, Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Forest Whitaker and Lewis Hamilton will also be in attendance.

46664 (four, double six, six four) was Nelson Mandela's prison number when he was imprisoned on Robben Island, off Cape Town in South Africa.
