Back in January,at the NAMM Show in Anaheim,Tom kindly autographed a Fender Stratocaster pickguard that is now part of an eBay auction to benefit Guitars Not Guns,a non-profit music program that provides guitars and lessons to foster kids, at risk youth and other deserving children in an effort to divert them away from the destructive influences of violence, gangs, drugs and alcohol. Check out the auction here;it ends on December 6 at 12:18 PM PST and the current bid is $35. As the auction page notes,the pickguard will fit a Fender or Squier Stratocaster (and possibly copy strats);the winning bidder can pick up an inexpensive Squier by Fender “Bullet Strat”, install the pickguard, and have a great music memorabilia piece to display. Thanks to Tom for signing the pickguard and good luck to everyone who places a bid.
