COPLEY INSTRUMENTS & WRANGLER ANNOUNCE EXCLUSIVE GUITARS
Nashville, TN Babs Simmons, Copley Instruments founder, announced today an exclusive license agreement to manufacture a signature line of Wrangler custom guitars.
"Wrangler is such a recognizable brand within the fashion world, but also within the music community. So many entertainers wear Wrangler jeans that it was just a perfect fit for us to create these special guitars," says Simmons. "Craig Morgan, Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton, Neal McCoy, Tracy Lawrence, Heidi Newfield of Trick Pony, Trent Willmon and Darryl Worley have their own custom Wrangler guitar because they are Wrangler endorsees. And that is just the short list," adds Simmons.
