One Direction - One Direction Receive Guitar Gifts From Support Act

The British boyband invited the musicians to hit the road with them in the U.K. to help open a string of their tour dates, and the group has shown its appreciation by gifting the quartet with several top-of-the-range axes.

A source tells Britain's The Sun, "The 1D boys were really grateful but it was a bit of a pointless present as only Niall can play guitar.

"Harry, Liam, Zayn and Louis are now desperately trying to learn because it was a really kind gift. Boyce Avenue got each guitar engraved with a personal message so the boys would remember the tour. That's definitely made the rest of 1D feel obliged to learn a few chords now."
