Throughout Tyler Childers’ 2026 Snipe Hunt Tour, guitarist CJ Cain of The Food Stamps is taking this custom Gibson Hummingbird on stage night after night. When the tour comes to a close, the guitar will be signed by Tyler Childers and The Food Stamps before finding its forever home with one lucky raffle winner.
The best part? Every $10 entry helps put instruments into the hands of students in under-resourced communities through Can’d Aid’s Instruments for Change program.
A Guitar That Earns Every Mile
This isn’t a guitar that’s been sitting in a display case.
It’s traveling the country with one of today’s most celebrated touring bands, collecting the stories, songs, and memories that come with every performance. By the end of the tour, it will be a truly one-of-a-kind piece of music history—played by CJ Cain, signed by Tyler Childers and The Food Stamps, and ready for one fan to take home.
Musicians That Give Back
Tyler Childers and The Food Stamps have partnered with Can’d Aid for years as Tunes Ambassadors, helping inspire young musicians through classroom visits, instrument donations, and fundraising efforts.
Now, they’re inviting fans to be part of that impact. Every raffle ticket helps fund Can’d Aid’s Instruments for Change program, providing instruments and Music Teacher Grants to schools where students often don’t have access to music education. Because every child deserves the opportunity to discover the confidence, creativity, and connection that music can inspire.
Whether you’re a Tyler Childers fan, a Gibson collector, or someone who believes music should be accessible to every child, this is an opportunity to own a truly special instrument while helping create the next generation of musicians.
Entries are $10 each (maximum of 10 entries per person), and the winner will be selected at the conclusion of the Snipe Hunt Tour this fall. Every entry helps keep music alive—for the fans of today and the musicians of tomorrow.
