Color Challenge Monday Red: @melodyrussell's Gretsch

I took this back in 2008 a few days after @melodyrussell got this guitar for her birthday. ALLLLL our friends chipped in to get her this awesome guitar! I only had about 200 dollars at the time to buy her something but our generous group raised another 300 to get this; now priceless guitar. Two months after she received it two of our friends passed away 2 days apart; both of whom had helped purchase this guitar. I'll let her tell you more about 'Gunner' when she can.

Nice that looks amazing,sad story with the friends though, hope you;re all right.

All is well @lanaya! Thank you!

Uplifting and sad story at the same time. it is so often for some reason that good people tend to go first. This makes this instrument very special i believe, and the way light is falls on it it makes it look surrealistic. Touching story, nice and meaningful shot.

It was definitely a rough time in life.... but it has made us a stronger group i think....

I fell for you guys. But that's what it usually does. Makes people stronger, it is sad it takes such sacrifice to take place to make people bind more...
