Miranda Lambert and her MuttNation Foundation have partnered with guitar dealer Norm Harris of Norman’s Rare Guitars to help L.A. area animal shelters with wildfire recovery.

Harris and a close friend have each donated a rare Gibson R9 1959 Les Paul Reissue Custom Shop Murphy Lab guitar for auction. All proceeds will go toward helping animals displaced by the devastating wildfires that began earlier this month.

“The fires have displaced so many people and animals, and I wanted to do something that would immediately help the overcrowded animal shelters,” Harris explained. “When my friend said he wanted to buy one of these guitars but that he didn’t want the guitar, he wanted to auction it and have the funds go support animals, I jumped right in and said I’d donate one, too. These are two incredibly special guitars, each with a slightly different finish that I hand-selected. The guitars have a value of over $8,000 each, but this is for charity, so I hope people will be generous.”

Lambert added, “Although I haven’t met Norm, I’ve heard about him and his guitar store for years and the next time I’m in L.A., it will be my first stop. There’s nothing better than finding another like-minded music and mutt-loving person and I’m really honored that he chose to partner with MuttNation.”

The auction is already under way here and will wrap up on Saturday (1/25) at 3pm PT.
