10-foot-tall guitar art to be shown downtown


PHOENIX - Alice Cooper is scheduled to officially launch GuitarMania on Friday at a public unveiling in downtown Phoenix.

More than 80 local and celebrity artists, including Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Nicks and the Gin Blossoms, have created art pieces using 10-foot-tall Fender Stratocasters for the project. The guitars will be on display at America West Arena and outside Bank One Ballpark from Friday through Sunday.

The following weekend, individual guitars will be moved to public locations around the Valley but won't be displayed as a collection until they are auctioned off Feb. 4. The proceeds will benefit Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Central Arizona and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Education Fund.
