I built my DREAM Rickenbacker...then gave it away 🤦‍♂️

This is how I built my DREAM Rickenbacker 360 style custom guitar, and why I gave it away. It made me sad because this is probably the best guitar that I've ever built, but it also brings me joy knowing that it will be used to serve the Lord in this ministry.
