The iconic guitar sculptures mark a significant milestone for the tribe and Hard Rock International as they work together to create a unique and inviting destination in Kern County, California<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The partnership between Hard Rock International<\/strong> and Gable<\/strong> has resulted in a visually impactful project that highlights the importance of collaborative design<\/strong> and innovative fabrication<\/strong>.
