Cancer Charity Guitar

Are you following the creation of the Cancer Charity Guitar on Facebook?



It was designed by our friend Ginny and hand made by her brother who is a CA Highway patrol officer. The ribbon shaped instrument is one of a kind and beautiful.



It is inlaid with silver and mother-of-pearl. All materials have been donated
by various companies.



Celebrities are lining up to be associated with the guitar. It will have a spot at the NAMM convention in January. The beautiful. custom strap is designed and made by the famous Jodie Head and the case is designed and donated by A&S case company. Lisa Loeb has agreed to play it at the show and be one of the autographs on the finished guitar.



The plan and hope, is to get several female artists to actually play the guitar and autograph it before the auction next Fall with all proceeds to go to the Susan G. Komen Cancer foundation in my daughter-in-law Chris' name. This is extremely generous of Ginny as she too is fighting breast cancer. {{{Hugs}}} Ginny}}}



Here is the youtube video of the finished guitar being played.
