Special thanks to:

Clint Searcy of
Searcy Stringworks for donating the pickups. Clint is a
master at his craft and an all around great guy. Benford guitars is
fortunate to be linked up with such a creative and generous individual!

Charles Benford (my DAD!) for designing  the eagle. The guitar turned
out better than I envisioned, thanks to a great design. Thanks DAD.

MOM and DAD for brainstorming with me on different design ideas. I
could have done it without you, but it wouldn't have been 1/2 as cool.

AND THE WINNER OF THE 101st Airborne Eagle guitar is.......
BOB LOGAN from Milwaukee, WI. Bob attended the Daryl Stuermer
Godin clinic and got in on the last of the eagle tickets. Daryl did the
honors and pulled Bobs name out of 289 entries. Bob served in the
Army Airborne so it was fitting he walked away with the guitar. Bob is
great guy, and we hope he lets us stop by a visit the guitar every now
and then!  
Congratulations BOB!!!!!
Bob Logan and Steve Benford
