I build guitars as a hobby. For the last few years I have build ten guitars to donate to two different holiday toy drives. This year five guitars went to the LA County Federation of Labor's "Toys and Turkeys" drive. and five went to the CBS and Salvation Army's "Angel Tree" toy drive. The rep for the County Federation told me that the five guitars I gave them last year went to five children who were in an inner city music program, but did not have an instrument of their own. He said that the five guitars I gave this year will go to the same program. I am very happy with the guitars I made this year, and they were well received. Here are a few pictures of the guitars.

I put all of the guitars in cases with picks, a tuner, and a book, so the children would have everything they needed to get started. The electric guitars also included a 10 watt amp, and cord.

Nice honest workmanship.

I hope the kids will honor their instruments.
