Albert auctions a handmade brass pick-guard for a Gibson Les Paul “Old Black” style guitar, top-chromed, like Neil has.
The reason? To help the starving kids in Somalia and neighbouring regions.
The plate is massive chromed brass (250 grams) and has all feed-throughs for the original screw drillings and the humbuckers.
This pick-guard is unique and serves a good purpose, like Love! Many things are running afoul in the world today, but helping the starving kids in Africa is at least far from dogmas.
End of bidding is this Sunday, high noon, European Summer Time (CEST) = GMT+2h.

thanks to Albert. We raised in an individual action about 1000 € in total. Thimk about that!? Military expense is at least a factor 1.000.000.000 per day.
(updated) On 16. April the annual European Rustfest at the “Schloss Huelchrath” (Huelchrath castle) takes place again. It’s the gathering of the European Human-Highway mailing list and neil-young.info.

The whole mayhem rocks off at a very nice and pittoresque castle in the middle of the German Rhine region.

“It doesn\'t affect me because I look at the internet as the new radio. I look at the radio as gone. [...] Piracy is the new radio. That\'s how music gets around. [...] That\'s the radio. If you really want to hear it, let\'s make it available, let them hear it, let them hear the 95 percent of it.” by -- Neil Young Interview on Steve Jobs and distributing music today, 31.12.2012
