Hear Ye ! Hear Ye!
This is the Official Announcement of the raffle of Millring’s 1958 Harmony Sovereign H1260. That is the very same one being restored and documented by Master Luthier (and all around handsome guy), Marty Reynolds, in the following thread:
acoustictalk.proboards.com/thread/36643/restoring-millrings-h1260-8
Purpose – The purpose of this auction is to have some fun and make a few bucks from the sale of a classic guitar.
Who can enter - This Raffle is being held by the Soundhole and is open only to Soundhole members (you gotta be a member) located in the Continental US (for shipping concerns), and who have been members since at least July 4th, 2014. If, per chance, you are outside the US and want to participate (like our Canadian brethren) send a PM to me, the Master of Ceremonies, and we’ll try to make accommodations. But realize there will be extra shipping costs involved. You’ll receive the decision of the Executive Raffle Committee quickly upon receipt of your request. No other restrictions are being placed on which Soundholians can enter. The drawing will be held in a totally impartial manner. So, even members of the Executive Raffle Committee will be buying tickets like everyone else.
Price – “Chances” in the drawing, or “tickets,” are being sold at $25 apiece for single tickets; or 3 for $60 for multiple ticket purchases. No upper limit is being placed on the number of tickets a Soundholian can purchase. There will be a minimum “reserve price” required for the raffle to proceed; of $1,000.00. Stay tuned to this thread for the status of the total commitment and when the Raffle gets committed. All purchase of tickets will be required to be received by September 7th. The drawing will be on Saturday Sept 13th at Idiot-Jam (See below).
Proceeds – All the proceeds will go to the original owner of the guitar, millring, with a deduction of out-of-pocket expenses by Master Luthier Marty. Just take a look at the Restoration thread for a sampling of the wonderful work Marty is doing.
The Drawing – Now for the fun part. The final drawing (if the Reserve is met) will be held on stage at Idiot Jam on Saturday September 13 in front of a live audience. Each contestant will already have received a list of the numbers of the tickets he/she has purchased. All the purchased numbered tickets will be placed in a large pot and liberally stirred. The drawing will be done live on stage with a blindfolded guest (we’re hoping the lovely Ms Resolve will wear her cowgirl boots for this occasion) reaching into the pot and drawing out the single winning number. The result will be immediately posted on this thread. (If the internet has come to Garrison Iowa).
How to enter – Tickets or chances may be purchased preferably through PayPal or by mailed check or money order. DRLJ has graciously agreed to be the recipient and keeper of all funds, and be the keeper of the list of purchasers and ticket numbers. Another member of the Executive Raffle Committee will be monitoring the list for transparency. After September 7th, everyone who has purchased a ticket will receive a PM on the Soundhole of what their number(s) are for the drawing.
PayPal payments should be made to:
blm447@att.net
Checks may be mailed to:
LJ Mattingly
447 Milburn Ave
Crete, IL 60417
PS – Upon completion of the restoration project, we’ll endeavor to have Lonnie and Bill make a youtube video of the actual guitar being played, so you can salivate all over your keyboard and dig deeper into your pocket book before the end of the raffle. “I gotta have that guitar ! ! ! “ . . . , stay tuned for that.
