More on Red Feather Development Group:
Through individual home projects with native families, Red Feather brings tribal members together to teach affordable methods of straw bale home construction, responsible home maintenance, and sustainable energy use. Meanwhile, Red Feather nurtures leadership among proactive tribal members and fosters skills that encourage confidence, increase community member participation, and provide increased opportunities for cultural exchange among native and non-native volunteers. With education at the root of each project, Red Feather envisions a time when its staff can support, but not lead, community-organized projects - a fundamental, self-sustaining plan for the future. Visit http://www.redfeather.org for more information.

Wandre Guitar:
This Pearl Jam guitar is a rare WANDRE STD with 5-ply body binding and a WANDRE signature headstock logo. Wandre Guitars were originally designed in the early 1960's by Wandre Pioli in Cavriago, Italy.

    GREAT item for a GREAT cause! :)

    considering Jeff's one-off bass sold for $14,000+, i can only imagine what this guitar will sell for,...

    Tim, which band member originally purchased the guitar?
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    I really love this band a fucking lot and I would not spend 12k for written names on a guitar. (unless I was a millionaire, but then I'd just donate the money straight up and give Pearl Jam a couple million bucks to play a concert in the foyer of my mansion, and you all would be invited!):D



    Okay not all................... but most of you.;)



    But I'm poor as a church mouse so fuck off.:p




    Really though, awesome guitar!

    the point of this matter is too raise money for those on native land
    NOT FOR YOU to learn guitar or have a piece of history to show off to
    your friends...it is to raise family in homes and raise the spirits of those less fortunate...

    Any idea what the winning bid was on this? The auction site isn't showing (that I can find) the grand finale.
