Here is a link to the PayPal I've set up for the side charity to be turned into Crimson on July 1st. I'm thankful to all of you who donate and really everyone in the competition! Please think about donating. Here's the link: https://www.paypal.me/sweettguitars

That was what brought me to that decision in the first place. I'm not auctioning mine either but wanted to give something back! It just seems like the thing to do and I thought it would send a really positive message about who we are as a community of builders. Anyway, stay tuned. I need to get a plan together. So far I've gotten about 5 responses from people showing interest in this. I'll keep everyone up to date on my plan at least. Thank you

Thanks Cade, you are the only person who has replied so I guess I'm going to make a donation and let that be that unless something changes and to let you know, I'm not planning on presenting the money to them until July 1st after the competition has ended but before judging starts. I'm going to suggest this again when I release my next video and see if I can't rally some interest. I'll keep you posted. There will be no hurry either way! Thank you for your reply brother. I know we can make a difference.

I have planned out my videos with a list. 1st-intro And bio, 2nd-body And neck prep, 3rd-neck build, 4th-body build, 5th-finish and assembly and finally 6th-summary video and demo. All my videos will be as long as they need to be with the final adhering to the 15 minutes stated in the original rules! I can't hold myself to 15 minutes for all of them, there's just too much to fit into that time. I think if you make it to the final judging then it'll be up to the judges if they go back and view your other videos besides the final 15 minute one?

Even if half of us donate $5 ea. That is something? It doesn't matter how much. There are a bunch of us in this and we can make a sizeable donation if enough of us are willing to, well......trust me? I have no desire to deceive anyone and I am suggesting this with a heartfelt basis for why I think it is a good idea. I want nothing from anyone, I just thought this would be really, really awesome to do. I will announce the results as far as interest in this goes this coming Saturday and will also decide at that time if there is enough interest in this to go forward. Either way, I am going to make some type of statement on all of our behalf, but it would be really cool for a group of us to send a message as to what kind of human beings we all are! Peace

I could set up a Paypal account for this if that would work for everyone? That may be the easiest way to deal with multiple currencies? If anyone else has an idea please shoot me an email!
