Breast Cancer Awareness
Our breast cancer awareness guitar is special to us. This guitar was designed to show our support to those who have battled or are currently battling the fight of breast cancer.
Ken has three healthy daughters, all cancer-free, and he feels very blessed that they are all healthy.
At NAMM 2013, Jay Jay French from Twisted Sister signed the back of the guitar.
Tribute to Jessica
We created this guitar in memory of Jessica Brinker; the following article was written by Chris Daniels and printed in the local newspaper:
Metallin’ Guitars, a subsidiary of Wolfert Tool and Machine Co., Inc. in St. James, presented a new guitar to the board of education May 19 in memory of Jessica Brinker. The instrument is a fully functional traditional-style guitar, engraved with the names of 85 members of the band and will be available for use by band students. Ken Wolfert, owner of Wolfert Tool and Machine Co., donated an aluminum guitar, engraved with the names of 85 members of high school band students. The guitar was created in memory of Jessica Brinker.
Dave Bast and Ken Wolfert presented the aluminum guitar to the board, giving a look into the creation process of the instrument. “It was machined from a 44-pound block of aluminum. It took us over 32 hours to engrave the individual names on the body of the guitar,” Wolfert told the board.
After completion, the instrument weighs approximately nine pounds. The body was sent to Advance Plating in Nashville, Tenn., where it was chrome plated. A rainbow of neon colors accent the front of the guitar in memory of Brinker who the band members nicknamed “Neon.”
Once custom painting of the neck plate and pick guard was finished, Merle’s Music in Rolla completed final assembly and tuning of the neck and controls. The guitar, when not in use during performances, will be on display in the High School.
The board members were very moved by the gesture and believe that the guitar stands as something students can use moving forward from the tragedy that started the year. It also serves as a memory of how far they have come together, using their music to do so.
