Alright! Sorry to those of you who tried to PM me, my box was full.
Brian G! What an awesome gesture!
This is still completely hypothetical, and I'm not sure exactly how collecting money and donations pertains to staying within the forum rules, so let's keep speaking about this in a "perfect world" kind of way.
I think it's great so many of us would like to do this, and I would really like to get this guitar to as many members as possible. If Brian G. is willing to donate a guitar (and that's cool with everybody including the forum and PRS guitars) then perhaps we could use any money for shipping to those long distance locations.
I am hoping that we might be able to have multiple members within close proximity to each other, be able to meet up and sign the guitar. It could be a minor get together (which could be fun!) that would allow us to save a few bucks on shipping, and allow us to send it out to more locations.
There have been a bunch of cool ideas so far, and I welcome everybody to offer more ideas as long as we keep them appropriate to the task at hand.
If shipping to the EU and AUS is going to be way too expensive, I would like to se if there would be a way for those members to sign a decal that we could apply to the guitar.
Please keep in mind that aside from the one time I organized a dance off to save my local community center ( which later inspired the movie "Breakin 2 Electric Boogaloo" ) I am not a professional event planner or organizer. If anybody's feelings get hurt or any animosity comes up from this, it's over.
