Good idea re: contacting the museum.
I can take a look at kickstarter unless someone here would like to,,sooner the better

Before setting up anything a conversation should be had with Steve Soest and Eddies brother John. Obviously they have to be on board. The guitar will be on sale at a guitar show the weekend of the 24th of may.
The musuems to be consulted with should be:
Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum,
or
http://www.surfingheritage.org/

The bass player for the Tremblors (ShaunNecro) has a speaker that was owned by Eddie...I should bug him into coming back from his forum hibernation to post about it.

R.I.P. Eddie.

How are we doing on reaising funds to put Eddie's Jaguar in the museum? Will we be able to raise enough to also put one of his amps there also? I have not seen anything about how much we have gathered in pledges so far. Can anyone fill me in on that?

Thanks,
Norm

I must have missed this while I was at the Instro Summit. Where do I contribute?

This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got.

So his jag jumped from 4k and some change to 7.5k??
And we have to call and beg for prices on other items??

Guys,

If the Jaguar goes for more than we can raise, I have an alternate idea to bounce off you. What about taking our contributions to buy Eddie's two Showman amps. Leave them with SG101 to be used at the Convention each year. Looks like $3,400 would get them both into our hands. A possible alternative if we fail to land the Jaguar.

Talk to you later,
Norm

Jake makes an excellent point. Eddie only owned the Jag since the 1990's. It's a special guitar but not as special was the guitars Eddie gigged with in the 60's. I have obtained one of Eddie's Fender Quad Reverb Amps. This was one of his regular gigging amps in the 70's and 80's. Eddie told me he used this amp for the South Bay Surf Revival gig in 1986 and the Rendezvous Reunion gig in 2000. It's a little rough right now. I plan to convert in back to it's original condition with the original Fender speakers. I'm not sure if the grill can be saved at this point. It's a beast. Very loud. My hope is to make it available as part of the back line when needed. Many thanks to John Bertrand, Eddie's brother. Here is a first look.

Tim, has there been any discussion about putting out some of Eddie's unreleased stuff, regardless of the genre? I sure would be interested in hearing what he was up to.

It will 100% go to a surf community member or fan of Eddies, hopefully they are a player. Nobody is paying $7500 or a refretted '65 Jag in white with a non-matching headstock.
