“In response to the tragic events in Haiti, I am auctioning off a guitar from my personal collection. ALL PROCEEDS will be donated to the Haiti relief effort through Compassion International. To find out more about Compassion’s efforts in Haiti, go to http://www.compassion.com/. This is an incredible opportunity to own a beautiful guitar, but more importantly, to give to the people in Haiti who are so desperately in need.
This hand-made Everett Laurel Guitar is THE very first production guitar (Number 00-01) in the Laurel Series and was given to me as a personal gift from the builder himself, Kent Everett (Atlanta, GA). I honestly can’t place a value on this guitar since it is again, Number 00-01 in a very limited production (only 128 ever made) and has been in my personal guitar collection as one of my primary “songwriting guitars” for 10 years. I do know that this Laurel First Edition is solid Sitka topped with Rosewood back and sides, highly flamed Maple bindings, Maple rosette, and Rosewood fingerboard and bridge. This guitar has been the source of quite a few of my songs (“Nothing Without You,” “Try,” and “Borrow Mine”), spent one year on tour with me, and is in absolutely amazing condition. This guitar is priceless as far as I’m concerned. I have autographed the custom interior label next to the production number and Kent Everett’s custom wax seal that ensures authenticity. The only way I would even DREAM of letting this guitar go is for a cause as important as serving the people of Haiti and meeting them in their time of crisis.”

- TKL hard case for the guitar
