Now that my early April Fools joke has made its rounds, I can assume you've heard my treasured PRS SC245, "Baby", is safely back in my possession. It was part of Phil's latest episode of "Sharpen My Axe", a series where Phil takes a guitar from one of his lucky subscribers and tricks it out. I didn't want to take up one of these coveted positions in place of a loyal fan, so I offered to pay to have my guitar worked on, but PRS Guitars ended up sponsoring the video (thanks, Jeanne!) and Phil recommended I donate to my favorite charity instead of paying him for his effort, so I donated to an awesome organization called Guitars for Vets.  For those of you who prefer video podcasts, you can watch The Music is Win Podcast on YouTube (http://youtube.com/musiciswin).
