    Need your old pickups and tuners for a good cause

    Hello All,

    We have a foundation called Blue Star Connection that gives kids fighting cancer all types of musical instruments (www.bluestarconnection.org). Our new project is supplying some of M. D. Anderson's kids camps with cigar box guitars as projects. We have them manufactured, then we supply the rest of the small parts to make it a "project".




    We have 140 of these manufactured and ready to go, just need to source some pickups and tuners. Any pickup will do, and any tuners that are individual and have a right and left tuner ( we need a pair). I've attached a picture of one ready to be put together. If I could find pickups for 5 bucks or less I would just by them, but they seem a bit above that, even for import surplus. If your like me, you got 5 old pups laying around that will never go in a guitar again.

    If you want a receipt for tax purposes, i can send one. Please send them to

    Sounds like a good cause. Let me dig through my boxes.
    Several guitars in different colors
    Things to make them fuzzy
    Things to make them louder
    orange picks

    Yeah, I think I have a couple sets of 'buckers lying around...

    that can show me what laughter means
    And we'll fill in the missing colors
    In each other's paint-by-number dreams..."

    If cheapo buckers will do, I can send at least one. Email sent to MYSELF to remind me to put in the mail.
