OOH

Long & Mcquade (Retail) - Activation
Customers pick the guitar. Gator takes the hit. A live in-store drop test turns product protection into a crowd-stopping proof moment.

A wall of damaged Gator cases opens to reveal pristine signature guitars inside. Artist quotes and real festival context turn product proof into music culture.
NAMM (Trade Show) - PR stunt
