Wavmixer has put out the call for donations, and I decided to try to boost the cause, with a half day of
work today, and some quality materials, and craft with love for my TTR Brothers and sisters)

Adding pics of this custom leather guitar strap, No Prisoners series (there will never be a copy),
in dark brown/oxblood alligator embossed cowhide. It's named "The Benefactor"

Adjusts 45"-59", heavy black leather nose and tail sections. Padded lightly, with a strip of fake leather
and nickel studlike features down the center. This guitar strap is 3" wide, and I would say an ideal example of a
Well-Hung No Prisoners guitar strap if you may already own one, or are looking to add one to your collection.

It's got lots of texture, some magnificent leather involved here, and is pretty badass, just like you! And not only
will you have all kinds of good feelings of owning a comfortable strap that will likely last as long as you do,
but you, and everyone else will also know you helped your most favourite gear community out as well.

So we have one matching bid for a laboriously-handcrafted piece of TTR lore and history? one that will turn even the meekness thin-tone guitarist into a roaring axe-wielding beast? $50? You guys probably spend more than that on Rogaine and T-supplements in a week. I know for sure Don O does except his in a corvette shape.

Imagine a world where TTR service is on the fritz. 404 errors, because poor old wavemixer needs his treadmill hooked up to a generator... but sometimes at random he's gotta get off the machine to grab a bite or take a :poo: But still TTR has to power down... so we all get big mad. All this anger and drama because his power got cut off, bcz he couldn't pay the enormous TTR bills to host your thousands of kitty and motorcycle pics. It's like some kind of nightmare I know!

We can head this scary reality off for another year with generous bids on this guitar strap. You can do it fellas, dig deep. Check under your couch cushions or between the seat and consoles of your expensive sports cars.

I can guarantee if crazy ol' Inspector #20 was still around, he'd be big-time fanning bills and flashing cash for this one... working hard to scare y'alls off of getting even a sniff of "The Benefactor." Bidding would likely be over five Benjamins already

However, since he's now shreddin' away up in that great big rehearsal room in the sky, all the rest of you still have a chance.
 
your wife and/or girlfriend is gonna ask where you got that cool new strap. imagine the glow it's gonna put on her when you simply mention how you made a philanthropic donation and won it for amazingly generous service to your community!

Yoy won't be able to get her off you!
 
Did you know that most pro guitarists agree putting a new strap on a guitar offers roughly the same tonal improvement as changing the strings? The beauty of this is, you can bid highest on this one strap then rotate it through all 12 of your guitars. It's basically magic!

Wavmixer says he needs $1016, but I think the real number is more like $1,007 and he just built in a cushion celebrate. Rightly so!

Really, who wouldn't dig a wild night out on the town with our mad homie Wav? Probably a BYOB thing tho, due to costs and such.
 
If there's any extra left over, might I suggest we install a helicopter pad above the Ambassador's Lounge?
I think that would be a healthier choice over the Hennesey fountain most of you would rather have.

That way the international members could visit more often.

@Thatbastarddon still has the winning bid at an oddly specific $62.42. Likely his alimony money.
 
Good.morning fellow Tone Roomies... This morning we can celebrate the fact we have three wonderful bids on "The Benefactor" from three fine upstanding and extremely handsome members of this community. Each of them already multiple repeat owners of WH straps, a testament to their good taste and gear discernment. If I am any judge of character, all three have also likely already made separate donations towards this important annual TTR fundraising drive.

While I'm pleased and honored by those three bids, wouldn't it be awesomely excellent to see a bid from a member not already packing a harem of WH lovelies? Perhaps a regular who has yet to add into the funds?

To further spur your generous consideration I will add if this particular auction item above is NOT your jam, I will accept any final bid amount as "store credit" towards another one already-crafted, or even future custom work.

The most important thing is we reach Wav's set target as many of us know he's suffered a tough haul personally over the past while and doesn't need any extra stress or drama.

What his work allows us here is immeasurable in adding to the quality of our lives, a welcoming place for us all to trumpet our tribulations, share our blues and all things in-between. This is a great way to thank him and the rest of your fellow citizens beyond just adding words.

Make today a day of victory!

Yet again, another awesome offer to the cause!
(Not that the initial offering hasn't caught my eye)

As suggested, I have already contributed my stipend, but adding W-H #10 to the hoard is always on the horizon.

I too would like to see some fresh bidders at the table before I raise the stakes.
