Gunston’s Sound the Alarm Bull & Oyster Roast

Calling all Herons!!! Don't miss out on an evening of great food catered by Phat Daddy’s BBQ, Superior Oyster Shuckers and Gunston Alum Emily's Produce.

New this year! We're bringing the Beer Truck back, adding cornhole and our Silent Auction will be online only from October 15-20.

Enjoy our live auction, raffles, wine pull, signature drink and a beautiful waterfront sunset while catching up with members of the Gunston community including current and past parents, alumni, faculty and many of our community supporters - you might even find yourself taking a spin around the dance floor.

All funds raised go directly to Gunston's Annual Giving program which allows the school to provide students and faculty with unparalleled opportunities above and beyond what tuition costs.

PRS SE Paul's Guitar Electric Guitar - Faded Blue Burst

The SE Paul’s Guitar delivers a lot of "PRS," starting with tone and versatility. The TCI "S" treble and bass pickups deliver a pure, vintage sound. The SE Paul’s Guitar also features two mini-toggle switches between the volume and tone knobs. This setup allows players to put either or both pickups in true single-coil mode, which delivers the clarity and uniqueness of vintage single-coil tones in both single-coil and humbucking positions. The PRS stoptail bridge is the same machined stoptail with brass inserts as specified on the Core Paul's Guitar.

Donated by Friends of Gunston
