Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Do you know someone who needs a good, if unspectacular guitar but can't afford one? I don't want to give this to someone who's just going to sell it. But if anyone on the HFC PMs me with a good story before it sells, and is willing to pay shipping, I'll send this guitar anywhere in the US at their request. Update: the middle pickup doesn't work. So right now it is effectively a 2-pickup guitar, neck single, bridge humbucker, splittable with the mini-switch, and a dummy middle pickup. https://reverb.com/item/39052922-yamaha-rgz-ii-red-black-burst
Ting Ho Dung Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 There are a few teachers on board who may know a kid or two. @mathman @sixesandsevens Not sure who else may be in the profession here.
mathman Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 School is out now. I could provide options in a few weeks.
JGale Posted July 24, 2021 Posted July 24, 2021 I have possible replacement Yamaha single coils here I can throw in the mix. I'll ship 'em.
polara Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 This is really kind and good of you. Tio 'o the hat. I recently gave a little battery-powered amp to a slightly homeless street musician I know, but he had the guitar already so hr is set.

No leads on my end. Thanks for the callout, but I'm not teaching right now and was at the college level when I did. @Nathan of Brainfertilizer FameGood to see you around again. I hope all is well!
JGale Posted August 13, 2021 Posted August 13, 2021 @Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame, are you able estimate the wind resistance of the bad Single Coil? I'll send you a replacement to fix that lil problem.
Guitarseh Posted August 14, 2021 Posted August 14, 2021 Hungry for Music is a legit charity putting instruments in the hands of kids who want them, but can’t afford them. Might be worth a look. https://hungryformusic.org/

hamerhead Posted August 17, 2021 Posted August 17, 2021 Guitars4Vets is another place to look. https://guitars4vets.org/

Travis Posted August 18, 2021 Posted August 18, 2021 Mr Holland’s Opus is another charity to consider. It was a favorite of EVH. https://www.mhopus.org
Nathan of Brainfertilizer Fame Posted August 23, 2021 Author Posted August 23, 2021 Someone bought it off of Reverb before I got around to contacting any of the charities. This offer is now void, even where not prohibited.
