A 306-acre tribal-led development showcases advanced construction logistics, precision engineering, and Gable's fabrication of two massive guitar structures.
METTLER, Calif. — From design development to installation, Gable, an international visual communications design-build company, has created two new guitar monuments for the grand opening of Hard Rock Casino Tejon. The 57-foot roadside feature and the custom, acoustic-inspired porte cochere sculpture showcase the property’s identity and mark a significant moment for the Tejon Indian Tribe.
Hard Rock International has helped shape the property into one of California’s largest and most high-profile casinos, with a scale and ambition that rival some of Las Vegas’ most storied mega-resorts. The collaboration brings together tribal heritage, world-class entertainment, and distinctive design, making the Tejon location a premier destination in the region.
