Killer Tone with a Twist
One Guitar, One Dream: Guitars for Kids Christmas Campaign!
Transform a Child's Christmas with the Power of Music
It started with one promise. In 2017, RS Guitarworks founder Roy Bowen pulled an Angel Tree card for a young boy who wanted just one thing for Christmas: a guitar. When he couldn't fulfill that wish in time, Roy made a commitment: this would never happen again.
Today, Guitars for Kids partners with the Salvation Army Angel Tree program and local schools to identify underserved children in Central Kentucky who dream of having their own guitar. Since 2018, we've delivered guitars to kids across six counties, bringing the joy of music to children who might never otherwise experience it.
Your Impact:
- $200 provides a complete guitar starter pack (electric or acoustic)
- Any amount brings us closer to our goal, and every dollar counts
- 100% of donations go directly to purchasing guitars for kids
In an atmosphere of economic hardship, music offers something priceless: freedom, self-expression, and hope. When you donate to Guitars for Kids, you're not just giving an instrument: you're opening a door to creativity, confidence, and possibility.
Make a child's Christmas dream come true. Give the gift of music today.
Raising the Standard for True Tone
RS Guitarworks Featured in The ToneQuest Report!
In their April 2025 issue (Vol.26 No.6), The ToneQuest Report sat down with our own Billy Compton for an in-depth interview, diving into what makes RS Guitarworks’ Pre-wired Les Paul Harness — and the components inside it — truly exceptional. It’s an exciting moment for us, not just because of the recognition, but because it highlights what we’ve always believed: Tone starts where most people stop looking.
