The Orianthi SJ-200 Acoustic-Electric Guitar.
On June 22, Guitar Center’s flagship store in Hollywood, California, held an exclusive and intimate acoustic guitar workshop featuring guitarist Orianthi. This special event, titled “An Afternoon with Orianthi and Her Gibson Acoustics,” featured the guitarist, singer and songwriter who has sold millions of records and performed with legendary artists such as Michael Jackson, Alice Cooper and Christina Aguilera and Steve Vai. Orianthi was joined on stage for the session, which was held in GC’s Vintage Room, by guitarist/bassist Justin Andres.
Attendees had the opportunity to see Orianthi perform and demonstrate her Gibson Orianthi SJ-200 Acoustic-Electric Guitar (in bright Cherry), participate in an extensive Q&A session, and get their instruments signed by the artist herself. For those unable to attend in person, the event was available via livestream, allowing fans worldwide to join this incredible experience.
Over the course of the hour and a half session, Orianthi talked about a wide range of topics, including learning to play guitar; early influences introduced by her father; her obsession with practicing; working with artists like Michael Jackson; her recording sessions in Nashville; and the development of her Gibson signature Orianthi SJ-200 Acoustic-Electric Guitar.
