Just boxed all the guitars up -- for their new owners. You?

TDPRI · November 14th, 2009, 05:05 PM

What a fun afternoon and morning.

First, I spent 15 mins with each of the guitars we're giving away (and the two others for our sister websites). Then I boxed them all up for shipping. This way, after the winners are announced next Wednesday I can get them shipped out ASAP. Because I know their new owners will be READY and waiting.

So, let's review each:

Grand Prize: Custom Shop La Cabronita Especial

This is a great guitar. Very fun. Light weight. It has a real attitude. The neck is to die for. And that one pickup --BALLS. It's the only way to describe this one.

First Prize: Ron Kirn Customs Barnbuster T-Style

Very smooth. Great looks. Thick and meaty neck. Gutsy bridge pickup and smooth sounding neck pickup. Dynamite case too. Too pretty for words.

Second Prize: Fender AVI '62 Custom Tele

This guitar is the real sleeper here. Great looks (though the mint guard is a bit much). Super comfy '60s neck (thin). In a room full of great guitars this one does make a strong impression.

Third Prize: Squier John5 Tele

Since when does Squier make such fabulous necks? This one is pretty neat. Versatile sounds from the HB pickups. Nice nice. Good looks. It's heavy though. Not a boat anchor exactly, but not light.

First Amp Prize: Winfield Amps Typhoon

Fun little 4-watt bedroom practice amp. I used it with an 8-ohm speaker and it was pretty polite. I'm guessing this thing needs a 4-ohm speaker. There are taps for both, by the way.

Second Amp Prize: Fender Super Champ XD

This is the second time we've given this amp away and I'm telling you, we could do it every year and I'd be happy. This is a great amp. If you don't win it then you should go buy one. They're cheap and great sounding.

The other prizes are bodies and necks. As usual Tommy's stuff from USA Custom looks great. Real quality. But wait till the winner of the Guitar Mill prize sees his finished neck and body. It really looks great. Add $250 of other parts to this one and you'll have a finished blonde T-style worth $1000+ that you won't want to part with.

OK, they're all boxed up now. Just waiting for your name -- or someone else's name.

I have one thing to say... GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

jrich99 · November 14th, 2009, 05:09 PM

I get chills just thinking about these prizes! (Please be me, Please be me, Please be me!)

Telenator · November 14th, 2009, 05:10 PM

Just go ahead and put my address on "Second Prize: Fender AVI '62 Custom Tele" because it's mine! I want that guitar soooooooooo bad!

neocaster · November 14th, 2009, 05:13 PM

Win or lose, thanks again for another year.

brewwagon · November 14th, 2009, 05:35 PM

XKnight · November 14th, 2009, 05:36 PM

No need to wait, just ship all of it to my house now.

Mechanic · November 14th, 2009, 06:16 PM

This is the only forum I know of that gives you the chance at something nice in return. I think the best part is the knowlage given freely here. Thank you for a great forum!

jkingma · November 14th, 2009, 06:17 PM

I'm hoping for the SCXD. I've been wanting one for a long time and I just sold my JC-120 so I need it.

Sidney Vicious · November 14th, 2009, 06:22 PM

Shoot, I just bought another ticket so I just KNOW somethings coming down my way.

pchilson · November 14th, 2009, 06:28 PM

USPS for mine please. nvilletele wants his shipped UPS.

All kidding aside, this place is a great resource and its worth the donation without the chance for a prize. Thanks to management and all memebers.

fender101punk · November 14th, 2009, 06:35 PM

I would love to have a tele.. :)

+1 !!! That one seems to have a lot of fans. Fingers crossed, good luck guys!

Shiro · November 14th, 2009, 08:00 PM

Well, even if I don't win I know the $ is well spent. I'm thinking the R.K. is headed to the left coast though!

emtjr928 · November 14th, 2009, 08:05 PM

Yep well worth it. Hey wait a minute this forum has prompted me to spend how much??? Oh well I guess without TDPRI it could have been worse. LOL
Best of Luck all. Sorry you didn't win.

Papa Joe · November 14th, 2009, 08:46 PM

Be sure to get my name and address right.

superbadj · November 14th, 2009, 09:03 PM

Pack that Cabronita carefully!!!!!

Dmann · November 14th, 2009, 09:15 PM

Its going to be a pretty disappointing weds, if I don't win something.

I just gave another $25 myself. Don't worry. I never won nothing! Me contributing again actually helps your chances!

The amp loves pedals, try a clean boost. It is also designed to be able to be dimed in the apartment without the cops being called.

I'm pretty sure they're waiting for my name. You can just write it on there now.

It is coming your way.

It is just, uh, stopping before it gets there, at my address.

Seriously, I wish each and everyone of you great success. And me a little greater success.

I was such a schmuck my first year; I thought it would be inappropriate for a brash newcomer to win straight away, so I held my entries just past the deadline.

I ain't doing that this year. I aim to win.

This site needs about 10,000 more moderators... maybe then I would have a chance to win!
Thanks for such a great site... and the great moderating that gets done on here!

Ron Garson · November 17th, 2009, 02:54 PM

I'll be SO embarrassed if I win top prize again!

stevieboy · November 17th, 2009, 04:01 PM

Okay question.

After years of gladly contributing because that's the point, but not winning anything, last year I won a Glendale bridge and saddle set, a fantastic prize but not the BIG prize. So does that mean I have no chance this year, or am I building up momentum for La Cabronita?

I prefer to think the latter. Big Mo!
