System Of A Down’s Serj Tankian Launches Gibson Guitar and Tour Experience: ‘Foundations’
A new collaboration between System of a Down vocalist Serj Tankian and iconic guitar company Gibson has resulted in the launch of a new ‘Foundations’ Les Paul Modern guitar and music experience package. The collaboration stems from the release of Tankain’s 2024 Foundations EP, which he released via Gibson Records.
Speaking about the partnership, Tankian shared:
“I’m honored to working with the Gibson family on a number of projects all under the headline of ‘Foundations’. Foundations means where you come from and the roots that you’ve established, it means how deeply you are embedded within your own society, arc and your own world.
“When we decided to put out the EP FOUNDATIONS on Gibson Records, that’s one to the things I wanted to impart, that the songs go back many years as original demos that were later finished, so we released that record and now we are unveiling the companion signature guitar. The ‘Foundations’ guitar is ingrained with a piece of my artwork titled ‘Sunburst’, it’s a beautiful guitar and the collection includes the guitar, a signed vinyl of the FOUNDATIONS EP, a print of the ‘Sunburst’ artwork, my memoir ‘Down with the System’, and a pair of VIP tickets to any of our 2025 System Of A Down, North American stadium shows.”
The ‘Foundations’ experience, includes:
- A signed “Foundations” Gibson Les Paul Modern guitar (autographed on headstock).
- A signed vinyl copy of Serj Tankian’s Foundations EP of new music.
- A signed copy of Serj Tankian’s memoir “Down With The System.”
- A signed 18 x 24” museum-quality print of Serj’s artwork “Sunburst,” which is featured on the guitar and the EP cover.
- A pair of VIP tickets to an upcoming System Of A Down concert this fall of the purchaser’s choice on one of six North American dates in the following cities: two in New York City, two in Chicago, and two in Toronto.
