The Epiphone acoustic guitars were decorated by some of country music's biggest stars, including Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, Charlie Daniels and Pam Tillis.
The guitars will be auctioned Friday at the Ryman Auditorium to benefit the Opry Trust Fund, which helps people in the country music industry who fall on hard times.
The guitars are adorned with song lyrics to hand-drawn sketches and are on display in the house lobby until the auction.
