So after winning the public vote and the online panel’s vote, Gustavo Guerra impressed a panel of industry judges enough to win Guitar Idol 2008 by a clear distance. His fully professional performance, showmanship and exquisite technique needed no hiding place on the main stage at The London Guitar Show!

Paul Reed Smith awarded Gustavo a Custom 24 Limited Edition (1 of 12) – a beautiful guitar worth over £2500 ($5000) and a Peavey ‘Satch’ signature amp signed by the great man himself.
