Over the past few months Gibson Guitars have paid homage to all things rock'n'roll, by bringing together musicians and visual artists to create a public art exhibition at More London and the O2 Arena.

'Gibson GuitarTown London' has seen the likes of Noel Gallagher, Kasabian (both pictured) Dirty Pretty Things, The Kooks and Hard-Fi team up with visual artists such as Sir Peter Blake and Gerald Scarfe to create giant guitar exhibits.

Now the axes have been put up for sale on eBay and will go to the highest bidder.

The emotional impact of McKee's work cannot be underestimated - like a faded photograph found at the back of a drawer - the artist's work brings to life people, places and characters that time has all but erased. Mods, rockers, British seaside holidays, chopper bikes, working men's clubs, factory girls and teddy boys are just some of the subjects that live on in the world of Pete Mckee. Since his first exhibition in a Sheffield pub in 2005 Pete has had over ten solo exhibitions, showing in New York, London, Dublin, Brighton and Saltaire.- www.petemckee.com
Of the process the artist says:

"It was great to Have Noels direct involvement with the guitar and he was very keen to make sure all the records and bands he chose reflected his influences as a lad learning to play guitar, to the point that underneath a couple of the sleeves lie rejected choices only he and I know about."

Gibson GuitarTown London is a community art project aimed at bringing the community of London together through art, music and charitable giving. Through The Gibson Foundation, the proceeds from ticket sales to the event on Thursday, November 8th, and the sale of the guitars at auction will benefit three non-profit organizations. The benefiting organizations are: The Prince's Trust, Teenage Cancer Trust and Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy. Thank you for your generous support of these organizations by participating in the auction and attending the event.
