John Stephens is the winning bidder for the exclusive Sub Pop Guitar auctioned off on Ebay for the benefit of the Southwest Seattle Historical Society. Stephens lives on the Eastside, and came by the Log House Museum to pick up this one-of-a-kind instrument which was donated by Terry and Ryan Martin of Walla Walla Guitar Company.
The sale of the guitar has generated a $2,225 donation value for the historical society, plus buyer John has even donated the $50 shipping fee which he was entitled to getting back since he picked it up locally.
Jeff McCord, Executive Director for SWSHS said, "Thanks especially go out to Walla Walla Guitar Company, Mike (for his time and care on the eBay auction) and to Sub Pop, Thunder Road Guitars, Easy Street Records and all of the other friends and supporters who helped spread the word about this special musical instrument."
