D’Addario has announced the launch of the Official Jim D’Addario Reverb Guitar Collection on Reverb.com.

All proceeds from the shop will be donated to the D’Addario Foundation, which provides support to music education programs – bringing children across the USA access to music education. The foundation provides equipment support, performance and learning opportunities, college scholarships and fundraising assistance to these programs.

Jim D’Addario explained the choice to put the collection up for sale: “I have more than 50 awesome guitars in my collection and unfortunately I find I am not playing most of them. Out of feeling guilty that some of these great guitars are not being played regularly and a desire to continue to support music education in a major way, I have decided to start the first round of selling some of my collection.”
