OSG March Madness II: This Time It's Charitable

Post by Stephen_42 » Tue Jan 31, 2023 4:18 pm

It's now February, so I cordially invite you to begin submitting entries to the second annual OSG March Madness!

No theme on the guitars for this one, anything goes. Rules:
- One entry person.
- One guitar per photo.
- Previous tournament-winning guitars are ineligible (I'll do a champion of champions at some point), but you can re-enter a guitar that didn't win. And if you did win, you are more than welcome to enter a different guitar!

The big difference this time is that there's an entry fee: make a small (or large if you like) donation to a charity of your choice. There's no pressure to donate any particular ammount, and you don't have to tell us how much; I just thought this seemed like a good excuse to do something nice.

If you're looking for inspiration, these two are close to my heart:
- https://www.cats.org.uk/donate
- https://www.bluecross.org.uk/donate
But absolutely no obligation to pick either of them. I just really like cats.

Anyway, without further ado, I declare this submission thread OPEN!

Great idea, and great causes. I used to volunteer for Cats Protection and donate monthly. I will double February's donation as my entry:

Entry #1: 1967 Fender Coronado II in original Lake Placid Blue (greened to hell)...

Wow! That‘s stunning! Maybe I‘ll join too - once back at home…
A Jaguar protection plan (how fitting) for the region of el Chaco, Argentina (where I‘ve already been) has reached me recently via Greenpeace… let‘s see if I‘d find a smaller/local one instead.

Just donated to my local animal shelter. What a great idea!

Here's the Jeezemaster, as has been shown frequently as of late.

Cool idea. I don't know who can beat that Coronado II. Here's my '82 Ric 360 WB since anything goes.

I'm donating to Red Cross' Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

Ok, here's something a bit different:

Image

I'm not even sure what it is. It's made in GDR, probably a Marma, but the pickup is Japanese. It's so beautiful, but I especially like the f-holes and how the headstock follows the curve of the tailpiece.

Donated to Sea Shepherd.

That’s really pretty
I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

This isn't my NGD (UK customs taking their sweet time as usual) but couldn't wait to enter and so took a shot my Jag with a NPD - Black Mass 1313 Distortion V3.

'62 Jaguar - olympic white refin and a Staytrem, everything else original.

Donated to Cats Protection - Sheffield branch :-*
