One of the local Jjunior high schools ( where my nephew happens to be a student) is doing a fundraising event by building guitars, having them autographed by various celebrities, and auctioning the guitars, with proceeds going to the Canadian Museum for Human Rights.

I'm impressed with both the work the kids have put into the guitars themselves, but also the effort at getting some pretty major names to "sign" on to the project.

Of course the web page has a lot of pictures of the students' work.

OK, I'm in. I'll sign one for you guys. No charge.

Seriously, that sounds like an awesome program. The link is blocked here in my office. I'll check it out more when I get home tonight. Thanks for sharing.

A lot of hard work obviously went into those guitars, and they're pretty cool guitars! Wish I could afford one....but I wish 'em every success!

:D :D :D

That sounds great! Fantastic idea.
