Rock icon Lita Ford has arranged with PBS Guitar Builder to the Stars Jim Cara (www.caraguitars.com) to create a one-of-a-kind DIO/Dio Cancer Fund custom guitar, which she will play in her All-Star Band appearance, sign and make available for auction. The DIO logo on this unique instrument lights up. Cara is recognized for creating some of the most photographed specialty guitars for artists such as Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley of Kiss and Brad Gillis of Night Ranger.
