Heavy Metal fans now have a chance to own a piece of musical history and help find a cure for Myotonic Dystrophy (DM). LAMB OF GOD lead guitarist Mark Morton has donated the custom-designed and autographed Jackson guitar from his personal collection, and the strings and LAMB OF GOD guitar picks he used to record four of the songs from the band’s album 'Wrath', to the Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation (MDF). All proceeds from the sale of the guitar will support research into treatments and a cure for this devastating disorder.
This auction will be run through eBay MissionFish. Bidding begins at 5:00 PM PST on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 and ends at 5:00 PM PST on Saturday, February 4, 2012.
Three-time Grammy-nominated LAMB OF GOD has been helping MDF raise funds for DM research since 2009, when Randy Blythe (lead vocals) donated his Grammy nomination medallion as an auction item. Randy and Mark support MDF in honor of their friend Todd Stone, an MDF board member who has two young sons who are living with the disorder. In the last decade, great success has been achieved in DM research and potential breakthroughs are on the horizon. Your successful bid for this one-of-a-kind guitar will help make those breakthroughs a reality. Bid now!
CKY/World Under Blood guitarist/vocalist, Deron Miller, recently inked a new sponsorship deal with Jackson Guitars, and he’s posted a video on YouTube (which you can see below) to show off his new hardware. Miller is excited to start ripping his brand new Jackson “Warrior,” and he is calling on fans to let him know what riffs from any of his projects they’d like to learn. Miller will field all the requests via Facebook, YouTube and email, and plans on recording video guitar lessons on his Flipcam. Tune into the video message to find out how you can get in touch.
Miller, who recently parted ways with longtime sponsor, Parker Guitars, is more than excited to begin this new relationship with Jackson. Said Miller, “I get emails, I get responses, I get photo sessions, and most importantly, I get guitars!”
The “Warrior” model (pictured above) will be Miller’s weapon of choice for all future projects.
Added Miller, “I saw it and was floored. It reminded me of the B.C. Rich Chuck Schuldiner played, and it plays perfect for my fretting hand and picking style. It’s considered a metal guitar I suppose, but the way it plays would work for any kind of music.”
Miller’s most recent project, the melodic Death Metal outfit, World Under Blood, released its debut album, "Tactical", in July via Nuclear Blast Records. The full-length can be purchased online through the Nuclear Blast webstore: US webstore and European webstore (Europe), on iTunes or on Amazon.com.
Stay tuned for more info on Deron Miller and World Under Blood.

All proceeds from the auction will benefit Victory Junction, a camp for chronically ill children in Randleman, NC. More specifically, the funds generated by the auction will allow a child to experience Victory Junction for the first time.
During a recent visit to the camp, Morton and his family spent time with staff and campers, including 16-year old Brian Walker, a LAMB OF GOD fan, music lover and Victory Junction camper. “Victory Junction is amazing,” explained Morton. “One of the highlights for me was getting to hang out with Brian. Hearing first-hand about how special this camp is to these kids and learning about all the liberating experiences they pack into a week made me that much more thrilled about our auction. Not only will the winning bidder get a beautiful instrument, they will also receive the joy of knowing that their generosity gave a special child, like my buddy Brian, a week at camp that they will surely never forget!”
The auction has begun and will last for 10 days ending on Saturday, October 1st. To participate in the auction visit the link below.
