Our friends at The Handmade Music School and Southwest Virginia luthier Jackson Cunningham of Cunningham Handmade Instruments are excited to announce the Third Annual Jackson Cunningham Guitar Raffle! Enter to win one of Jackson’s beautiful custom-made guitars to benefit programming at The Handmade Music School.
Raffle tickets are $30 available for purchase now through October 10th, 2024 The winning ticket will be selected and announced at the Friday Night Jamboree on October 11th (in-person and live stream).
The goal of the fundraiser is to raise awareness of Jackson Cunningham’s beautiful craftsmanship while raising funds in support of the Share The Music Scholarship and music programming at The Handmade Music School, a 501c3 non-profit organization is dedicated to cultivating and strengthening community through experiences in music, dance, art, and food rooted in Appalachian traditions.
This guitar was built from a special selection of tone woods collected over the years from local luthiers, wood cutters and musicians around SWVA. The old growth Appalachian Red Spruce top wood was harvested, seasoned, and air-dried for over ten years and generously donated by the Hampton Brothers Wood Company to Jackson for the build.
The guitar was brought to life in Jackson Cunningham’s workshop in Grayson County, Virginia in the Fall of 2024. It is a faithful recreation inspired by the classic steel string models from the pre-war era.
This is a versatile guitar masterfully built with responsive tone. It is very adaptable to playing many styles of music from flat picking bluegrass, sweet jazz voicings, to fingerpicking folk and blues, and is a wonderful guitar for backing up an instrumentalist or accompanying vocals.

The guitar comes with a professional hardshell case made in Virginia and donated by Harptone Case Company.
