The first-ever Guitars of the Stars Benefit Auction held live outside the Ryman Auditorium last Friday raised $40,000 for the Opry Trust Fund, organizers reported on Monday.

Dolly Parton’s “guitar of many colors” alone raised $7,000 for the Trust Fund, while a guitar designed by Carrie Underwood brought in the highest bid at $9,000.
