Barbara Nassberg, a treasured member of our Threadhead Family, has generously donated her rare and pristine Martin & Co. Paul Simon signature edition PS2 guitar to help us raise funds for our 2024 Fall Grant Round!  All funds raised in this raffle go directly to this year’s grants.

Only 200 of these guitars were constructed; this is #127.  With a rosewood and spruce body and a solid mahogany neck, featuring blue paua diamond and square inlays.  Paul’s signature is inlaid between the 14th fret and end of board!  Polished gloss finish body with dark filler back and sides and aging toner top, and a solid black ebony belly style bridge. 16” bone and nut saddle and Gotoh nickel plated tuning machines with butterbean knobs. This 000 body size and style is smaller than a dreadnought and often preferred by persons that do a lot of fingerstyle playing like Paul. It also works very well for playing leads with a pick, and is very similar to the Eric Clapton model guitar that he does just that with.  It comes with a locking 630 molded hard-shell case and the interior label is signed by CFM IV and Paul Simon! Barbara even included extra strings, a guitar strap, capo, and a Korg tuner and metronome for good measure.  Letter of authenticity, original owner card also included.

We are only selling up to 200 chances on this beauty at $50 a chance, so buy a few tickets to make SURE you take this baby home AND directly support the artists and culture bearers in our upcoming grant cycle.
