Michelle Obama gave Carla Bruni-Sarkozy a rockin’ gift: a Gibson guitar. Whoever has been advising the Obama family on their gift-giving is hitting it out of the park. President Obama gave Queen Elizabeth an iPod, and now Michelle Obama has given Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the wife of French president Nicolas Sarkozy, an acoustic guitar made by Gibson Guitars of Nashville.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was a model and singer before becoming the first lady of France, dating uber-rockers like Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton. Michelle Obama’s choice of an acoustic guitar as a gift matches Carla Bruni-Sarkozy’s preference for acoustic guitars. Check out other awesome axes in the cluster below.
