This week, while busking in Edinburgh, Scotland, Matt Grant’s guitar was smashed by a woman on the street. Jack White’s management heard about the incident and worked quickly to make it right.

A Go Fund Me page was set up to replace Grant’s $500 ruined guitar. It ended up raising over $6000 before White stepped in. After seeing the fundraising page, White offered to buy Grant a new instrument.

Thinking he had raised enough for a new guitar, Grant went to the guitar shop and purchased a new acoustic guitar. Shortly after, White’s management reached out.

Grant told Daily Mail that, “It’s just amazing. I was in the guitar shop and the manager had been trying to get hold of me all day on the Go Fund Me page but I had closed it as I already had more than enough donations in. He said Jack saw what happened bud and he wants to get you a guitar.”

He continued saying, “I was like a kid in a sweetie shop, going around trying out all the guitars until I picked the one I wanted.”

Grant said that he tried to reach out to the aloof rocker, but hasn’t gotten the chance yet. “I wanted to thank Jack directly to thank him but I found out he doesn’t actually have a phone so his manager said to send an email and that should get to him.”

Grant picked out a Fender Stratocaster, sharing it to Instagram.

And now for something absolutely incredible… Story time. This morning I came into @guitarguitaredinburgh to pick up the new acoustic. Next thing I know I’m on the phone to @officialjackwhitelive ‘s manager who tells me Jack White has seen my go fund me page, feels bad for what happened and wants to buy me a new guitar. Flashforward one kid in a candy shop later testing as many guitars as possible and I settle on a #custommade #fenderstratocaster. Absolute once in a million lifetimes thing happened today and I cannot thank Jack enough for his absolute generosity. Apparently he saw what happened and hit up his manager just this morning, who then amazingly tracked me down to the guitar shop just in time for me to walk out with this absolute beauty. Thanks Jack. I’d love to thank you personally one day, you’re a legend. #fender #guitar #electricguitar #thewhitestripes #jackwhite @guitarguitaruk @guitarguitaredinburgh
