Salvador's Nic Gonzales Honored With Gibson Guitar

2003-08-23 - While in Nashville celebrating the release of the band's first-ever all-Spanish album, Con Poder, Salvador frontman Nic Gonzales was honored at Gibson Guitars' Valley Arts, where he was presented with a rare Chet Atkins SST 12-string electric acoustic guitar, worth an estimated $10,000. Made a handful of times in Gibson's history, the guitar has only been created twice in the past five years. 'Wow! I cannot believe how beautiful this guitar is. It's amazing,' exclaimed Gonzales, who searched for the guitar without luck. Gibson, impressed with Salvador after hearing its first two releases on Word Records and with Gonzales' Gibson brand-loyalty, commissioned the rare guitar to be made specifically for Gonzales.
