ABIA GuitarTown Gibson Guitars

When you fly into Austin Texas make sure you check out the 10 ft tall Gibson Guitars sitting on top of the number three Baggage Claim Carousel. You probably are aware Austin is known for it’s live music. That philosophy extends to the ABIA (Austin Bergstrom International Airport). ABIA is the only airport I’m aware of that as often as not you will pass by someone performing live on a stage while you are walking to or from your gate. The guitars on display are a sample of the guitars that were part of the Austin Guitartown Art project a few years ago. There was a fund raising auction at the end of the project & it appears the Milton Verret Family purchased these as a donation to the airport.
