Hank Williams, Jr. eBay Auction Underway

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Ebay, www.ebay.com/hankjr) - Country music's 5-time Entertainer of the Year, Hank Williams, Jr. personally donated $125,000 to Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in Biloxi, Miss during his concert at Pearl River Resort on Friday, Oct. 14. As part of his fundraising efforts, you too can contribute to this great cause by bidding on a unique eBay auction of Hank's guitar, which includes two (2) concert tickets and two (2) meet-and-greet passes to one of his 2006 shows. This is the first-ever item personally donated by Hank Williams Jr. for an eBay fundraising Auction.

With his career crowding seventy albums, Hank has a fascinating career to look back upon for a legend still in his prime. His discography chronicles a bold profile of growth from adored offspring of a legendary father, to titan of the modern country rock movement in his own right. Is it any wonder that during the whole last decade, America came to its collective fight each Monday night when this larger than life superman of a musician looked into the camera and unleashed the national anthem for viewers of ABC's "Monday Night Football"-"Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?" Those simple words won Hank not only a whole new generation of fans but gave him the distinction of being the first country performer to ever win an Emmy-a feat he repeated in '90 through '93.

The Hank Williams, Jr. Eagle Guitar is custom fabricated out of 304 stainless steel. It was laser cut, welded, polished and finished with a hand applied grinder pattern. The neck is hard rock maple with three layers of carbon fiber applied to the outside. The pickups are Seymore Duncan and the bridge is a Tone Pro single piece. The eagle's head on the peghead has a vibration activated red LED eye. This one-of-a- kind guitar was built by Dwayne Becknell, Beck Guitarworks.
