Ojai Raptor Center Charity Auction

​For everyone following the story of Jackie and Shadow, the famous Big Bear bald eagles, you know the extraordinary heart, care, and dedication the Ojai Raptor Center poured into Jackie’s recovery efforts.

​

This project holds a deeply personal connection for us. My wife first introduced me to Jackie and Shadow through their live stream, and like so many others, we fell in love with following their journey. Around that same time, I was working on a 1-of-1 custom build originally intended as a 4th of July release. When the build got delayed, and Jackie was subsequently brought to the Ojai Center for care, it felt like fate—this guitar had a higher purpose to help support their incredible team.

​

I reached out to the Ojai Raptor Center, and we quickly put a plan together. We are immensely proud to donate our work and craftsmanship to help fund their continuing mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and protect California's wild raptors.
