Members valentsgrif Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 Always seeing guitar contests at Guitar Center and whatnot. Anybody here ever win one, or is entering a guitar contest just a complete waste of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mazi Bee Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 Back in 1986 I won a Fender 62 Reissue Strat in candy apple red signed by Yngvie Malmsteen. It was a radio station/record store contest. I traded the Strat for a Randall combo amp that I desperately needed at the time. Wish I still had the strat instead.

Members Tweedledee Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 I won an Electro Harmonix Wiggler pedal a few years ago. Still no guitars, though I enter those contests all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Minning Around Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 I did, I did! This one, from a Guitar Player magazine drawing I entered into at a John Scofield concert at Yoshi's jazz club in ,California. It's signed by John! Anyone local want to buy it?

Members Mind Riot Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 I never won anything like that until the HCEG guitar giveaway. I think that used up any right I'd have to expect winning anything else for the next few decades, which is honestly fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members samuraiBSD Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 well to be honest (don't think I'm trying to start a pity party here, because I'm not), I've never won anything...I've either had to buy it or find it on the ground...

Members clay sails Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 My aunt won a cheap Peavey in a raffle once. She gave it to me and I played it until the electronics broke, at which point I gave it to a friend. Does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members valentsgrif Posted November 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 Aunt winning at raffle: counts. Ebay- not what I'm talking about. I'm more curious about those web site and guitar store contests. I've been entering for years and I havn't won so much as a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DenverDave Posted November 16, 2007 Members Share Posted November 16, 2007 I came close.... It was a radio giveaway contest. If you were the right caller they played you a portion of a guitar solo - you had to name the artist and the song. I got the first one right...won Eric Johnson concert tickets. I missed the second one (for an EJ autographed MIA Strat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
