Rock out with a guitar signed by Richie Sambora, legendary guitarist of Bon Jovi and solo superstar, and own a piece of music history
Last year, Richie Sambora electrified the crowd with a jaw-dropping performance — and stunned everyone by auctioning off a one-of-a-kind guitar he designed himself.
Richie has once again crafted a custom guitar exclusively for Unbridled, combining his legendary artistry and personal touch to support the many incredible charities backed by the Unbridled Charitable Foundation.
But Richie isn’t stopping at just creating another iconic guitar.
For the lucky winner, he’s also offering a private, personal guitar lesson — a once-in-a-lifetime experience with a rock legend.*
This extraordinary package will be auctioned live at the event.
But here’s your chance to get a head start:
Place your bid during our silent auction for the opportunity to be represented by a proxy during the live auction!
