Over 50 people showed up at a farmette in Hudson, Wisconsin to build 20 guitars for veterans suffering from PTSD. I headed up from Madison for the weekend - they used Grizzly kits, not the nicest, but what the heck- they looked pretty sharp at the end. These will go to veterans at the Minneapolis VA hospital - included will be donated items, such as D'Adarrio straps, etc. Each vet will get 6 lessons. The healing power of music. http://www.guitars4vets.org

Very cool--I love it!

I just saw a writeup on this a few days ago in the Minneapolis Star Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/local/982834 ... 3LGDiO7aiU
