NEW Raffle - Pink Guitar Project - Raising money for Breast Cancer Now
JamesOnGuitarYT
Frets: 140
Hi all,
Recently I started a fundraising endeavour for Breast Cancer Now called The Pink Guitar Project. - Breast Cancer Now focuses on the research of breast cancer treatment and also the care of those with it. My wife is going through the ringer with a very stubborn breast cancer right now, so this is project is really a catharsis for me - but it seems to have touched a lot of people and grown to be bigger than I imagined.
We are building a couple of pink guitars to sell for the cause, but then have had many pink pedals donated from small makers, and a few large ones. These range from large enclosure fuzz faces, to tone benders, accurate nos parts tubescreamers and klons.
In fact, our first raffle launched today - for the Ceriatone Centura - kicking off the whole thing. I have this pedal myself, and compared it to a real Centaur earlier this year and couldn't really tell the difference!
Here is the raffle: Centura Raffle
Over the next few months there will be a few raffles. For example, at one point the prize will be a package of a Fender Player Series Ltd Edition Shell Pink HSS Strat, with a pink Marshall valve amp and a pink Browne Protein pedal. The raffle will cost a little more for that one.
Then there will be the 'handmade' strat - the body was hand-carved by me (well the belly and top carves were), the rest I cut like a normal person with a bandsaw and router! But, the neck is being made by a British luthier - Jon Case of Case Guitars and the pickups being provided by Sunbear pickups.
There will also be a partscaster I have had painted pink - and will assemble, and relic myself (for the first time) on youtube.
Anyway, I don't want to make this too long, but I thought it might be something some of you would like to keep an eye on.
The project's website (made by me, and not quite finished!): The Pink guitar Project
Or you could follow us on Instagram @thepinkguitarproject
And a couple of videos about the project if you want to see how it started:

Thanks for your time, and let me know if you have any questions!

What was The Pink One guitar - that one passed me over
I believe the guitar was auctioned off afterwards.
Was probably the best part of 10 years ago now, I think.
Here it is:

All the best to you and your wife!
honestly - i end up wanting to buy all of this pink gear off the project myself!
Have bought some raffle tickets, hope your wife is coping with her treatment.
Raffle going pretty well, £400 taken in the first day, so that’s a small success so far for the charity!
mike - v glad to hear you’ve got to there
Ive grabbed a few tickets. Hopefully everyone can dig deep for you. Great cause and great prize
Tickets selling better than expected...phew!

or Bump!
Here's the first part.
We still have our first raffle ongoing: https://raffall.com/319432/enter-raffle-to-win-ceriatone-centura-klon-hosted-by-james-holding
cheers!
We have a great new raffle up here where one person can win
A Fender Player Strat in Limited Edition Shell Pink... and it's an HSS!
A small Marshall amp - the Origin 5 - which Zilla Cabs have refinished in pink tolex, it looks very cool imo.
2 pedals - the Protein by Browne, and the Angry Rhubarb by Redbeard Effects (Thorpy's other company).
AND to finish off, a very classy pink cable made by the lovely lads at Mojo Cables - who also donate money to the charity MIND with each sale.
All of these pieces have been donated to us by Peach Guitars (the Fender), Marshall, Zilla, Browne, Redbeard and Mojo themselves and are much appreciated!
Great little setup - the amp good for recording and small setups - and the guitar is really great. I compared it to one of my Masterbuilt Strats in a youtube video here.
Thanks for all and any support on this!
