The $100 Guitar Project

[newey]

This is the story of what happens when you put together:

• two creative guys who (like all of us) love guitars;
  
  
• A $100 beater guitar off of Ebay;
  
  
• A bunch of musicians of various stripes;
  
  
• An interested record label; and,
  
  
• A world-reknowned charitable cause.
  

The story is from today's NY Times:

www.nytimes.com/2013/04/03/arts/music/the-100-guitar-project-releases-a-cd.html?pagewanted=1&_r=0&ref=music

and a sidebar links to some clips of the music. Fun stuff, this!

How cool is that?

An excellent use of the Internet by guitar enthusiasts.

Seems to me we Nutz talked about doing this very thing ourselves, waaaay back when. I've still got the Squier Strat that I was gonna seed the project with......

Nothing new here folks, please move along.

Aw, shucks, you mean this thread that I started?

Hmmm. Two years before these guys . . .

But the '60s Japanese guitar, that we didn't think of!
