rocketman Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wow that was a great story. I loved the part about the frets. I wonder what Gary Busey got for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaxson50 Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 I subscribe to Acoustic Guitar Magazine, in this months issue they have a in-depth story about this project, a step by step photo gallery of the building of these guitars. I hope you can pick up a issue, it really has more information then these links... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pippy Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wonderful story! I especially loved the bit that they will be made available to worthy players to raise funds for the charity. I was wondering about the number of instruments to be made - eighteen. Was there, at one point, an idea that each guitar might be crafted complete with ONE original fret? How cool would that have been!? P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
