Our First Group Project
The Steve Parks Signature Guitar
In 2007 we hatched the idea of a group project - a project where we actually build an instrument together. Our plan was to either sell the instrument to raise funds for another project or donate it to a worthy cause.
While we were contemplating this idea, we heard that an auction was being planned to raise money for the Parks Family fund, a fund for fellow luthier and musician, Steve Parks, who was battling cancer. On October 19, 2008 we started our first project, the Steve Parks Signature Guitar.
It was completed on March 28, 2009 and sold at the "Parks Family Fund" auction on April 4, 2009.
