PICKIN' FOR THE RECORD

For the last five months we've been working on breaking the Guinness World Record for the most guitars assembled at one time to play a song to benefit the Welcome Home Project in their support for our Injured Veterans! Well folks, guess what?

* * * * WE DID IT! * * * *
And The Official Number of Pickers is 1867

We needed 1,803 pickers on hand at the event to break the previous record set in 2007, so we beat that by a reasonable margin. The official judges are writing their Letters of Authentication and we'll be sending off our records and support materials to the Guinness World Records in London for our ultimate certification.

Thanks To All The Pickers and Supporters!
