Hi folks, it's Jeroen here. The guy that won one of the LPs in the 2000-like give-away on Facebook.
Mine is going to be done up in pinks and when done auctioned off. Proceeds will go to cancer research.
I had this idea to paint a guitar pink ever since I found out my sister was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had a cheapo (Samick) guitar all ready to be painted, but now it's just so much better. Thanks PBG for the kit, thanks for reading y'all.
Hopefully I can get some pictures on here soon.
Hi Jeroen. I'm pleased to see you starting a thread. I imagine there are many like myself who are behind you with the reason for this build. I hope you enjoy bunging it all together and turning it into icon for the fight against breast cancer. Please post often and ask questions as you need. There are a lot of excellent, highly experienced amateurs here and two brilliant, supportive luthiers.
Cheers.
Welcome Jeroen, and congrats on winning the LP. Great idea and a very worthy cause, I'm sure everyone here on the forum will help out in any way we can. Good luck with the build.
Scott.
All the best with the build, all the best for your sister..
Hi Jeroen,
welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing pics of the pink LP and what a great cause to donate the proceeds to. All the best to your sister.

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. Much appreciated. As some of you know I have started a Facebook page. You can visit http://www.Facebook.COM/thepinkguitar. You will also find a link there to donate money and a build diary of sorts. I will shortly start one here as well and I am working on the first video for the YouTube channel (or Vimeo, haven't decided yet).
Will update you folks soon!
