LAKE COUNTY – Clyde Colwell, a Lake County guitar maker and musician, has donated a custom Telecaster and case valued at $950 to Lake County Community Radio (KPFZ 88.1 FM) as a fundraiser to be raffled off by the station from July 19 throughout the summer and fall.


The Sunburst Custom Telecaster in birdseye maple has a quilted maple top, clear pickguard, noiseless pickups from Fender, and an awesome, pure sound.


The announcement was made and the raffle launched at the Singer-Songwriter Concert produced by Michael Barrish at the Soper-Reese Community Theatre to benefit KPFZ on Sunday, July 19.


The guitar raffle drawing will take place at the “Country Joe” concert to be held at the Soper-Reese on Saturday, Oct. 17, when local producer Herb Gura and Colwell will present the guitar to the owner of the lucky winning number.


Tickets are $1 each or 25 tickets for $20. All proceeds will go to KPFZ 88.1 FM (Lake County Community Radio) to keep the airwaves alive with continued community broadcasting. KPFZ is supported by community memberships and contributions. All donations are welcome!


Colwell is a graduate of the Cooper School of Art and a student of philosophy and music throughout his life. His vision for Lake County is its evolution into an artists’ colony with many little bistros and clubs around the lake for musicians, writers, singers, artists and art/music patrons.


Colwell’s studio is located at 9287 Chippewa Trail (Clearlake Riviera) in Kelseyville, telephone 707-277-0472, or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
