We are thrilled to announce that Bella Rayne has officially joined the ranks of Grateful Guitars Foundation artists! We’ve been fans of Bella for some time, but after her cherished Les Paul—a sentimental gift from her parents—was stolen, GGF stepped in to ensure she didn’t miss a beat.

"The support Grateful Guitars provides its artists goes above and beyond, and now I’ve experienced it firsthand. When my Les Paul was stolen a few weeks ago, I was heartbroken… but the foundation must have noticed how much I loved the Les Paul Gold Top I borrowed for my show at Sweetwater Music Hall. To my amazement, they replaced my stolen guitar with the Gold Top of my dreams, just in time for my school outreach presentations in partnership with the June Lake Jam Fest," Bella reflects.

This moment is about more than just replacing a guitar. Bella shares the core values of GGF, which she demonstrated last weekend by visiting several Mono County schools in conjunction with the June Lake Loop Performing Arts Association, sharing her love of music with young, aspiring musicians.

"Words can’t express how much this support means to me. The love GGF showed during this tough time reflects what the organization is all about. I couldn’t be more proud to represent such an amazing nonprofit, and I can’t thank them enough for helping me along my musical journey and supporting my mission of inspiring kids through music, reminding them that dreams really do come true."

The Grateful Guitars Foundation supports the jam band scene with the loan—and often gift—of classic guitars, like Jerry Garcia’s 1971-1973 “Alligator” Stratocaster. Just as importantly, GGF supports school music programs, such as the ones Bella visited.
