That's a pretty sweet Squier, with Mr. Freed's artwork. Definitely a piece that any DBT fan would be proud to display in their home.

Wow Ramonz. One day you'll get extra fluff on your rock 'n roll cloud in heaven for this!

Oh. Entry submitted too.

ALSUM!!!! That's fantabulous!

And so pleased that Athens Joe won. Guy could use a good break considering the bad break he's recovering from (knee surgery which caused him to miss all of HC this year).

I was so happy when Joe texted me with the awesome news this afternoon. I can't help but feel the guitar is meant to have a home in Athens.
I just want to stay in that better time and place....

Thanks everyone for the kind words! And THANK YOU Ramonz and all involved for putting together such a great idea that raised a ton of money for a great cause in our community. Man that is an impressive total.

I hate that I missed the shows and festivities this year and missed a lot of you fine folks. This is a nice and shocking consolation prize. I can't wait to see that bad boy in person!

Congrats Joe! Miss you man.

This couldn’t have happened without the incredible talent, generosity, and patience of Wes. The man and his work continue to astound. And to John for suggesting the guitar move from the auction to a raffle. I think that exponentially boosted the haul. And to Jenn and DBT for posting the link on their Facebook page. And to Dave and everyone at Nuci’s for skillfully managing the raffle. And to all of you who bought a ticket. Well done folks!
