Thanks to the Gibson Foundation and those who participated, the above guitar generated several thousand dollars through a SBBS sponsored raffle to support Santa Barbara's Blues For Youth program. Look Here For Details.

The Raffle Winner, Doug Carroll, Gave The Guitar Back To The SBBS To Raise Even More BFY Funds!! You Can Still Win It At The 01/27/07 Auction!

Hence it has been decided that the guitar will be auctioned off to the highest bidder at the Members Appreciation Show Featuring John Long. The show & auction will be held at Warren Hall on January 27th, 2007. The guitar has a list value of ~$1200, worth much more thanks to the many blues professionals who signed it in support of the SBBS and the BFY program. Please note that only SBBS members are allowed to bid in the auction! A membership may be purchased at the door ($20/year, $60/lifetime).
