The country star shared the stage with Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and John Mayer, at Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival at Madison Square Garden earlier this year.

The "We Were Us" singer has joined forces with HSN to offer an affordable line of guitars to fans and aspiring musicians. The URBAN Guitar Collection includes two one-hour instructional DVDs and his first custom created, limited-edition acoustic and electric guitar line. The line will be for sale exclusively on HSN starting November 3.

The URBAN Collection features two versions of the "Phoenix Edition" guitar � electric and acoustic/electric � and will be available in multiple colors. Part of a 21-piece set, the collection includes a custom amplifier, coated guitar strings, embroidered guitar strap, guitar picks and more.
