About the Hippycaster…
Donated by our lovely friend and talented artist Jennifer ‘JPAX’ Armstrong, the Hippycaster is a one-of-a-kind original artwork that does what it says on the tin. It’s floral and out there, man. It’s also a thoroughly playable guitar. One of Jennifer’s earliest works (she thinks it’s #06) it’s going to be noticed, whether as a wall-hanger or on-stage. We couldn’t be more delighted with Jennifer’s support. It comes in a padded gigbag and shipping to the lucky winner is included, wherever you are in the world.
About EllesGuitars.org…
You can read more on our website, but in short, we provide guitars and basses, free of charge, to girls and young women who wouldn’t otherwise have access to them. We’re active in the UK, Canada, Australia and Kenya so far, and have found homes for around 25 guitars. We try to make every one quirky and unique, as befits Elle, the teenager the charitable initiative was created in memory of. We aim to create unique refurbed guitars for a budget of £150 ($190), including setup, gigbag and shipping. More at EllesGuitars.org
