Sorry, I don’t have anything to give away here. But “winning” is always on everyone’s mind: the lottery, or at a casino, a sporting event, or an election. Guitar magazines/companies/websites often do giveaways: enter your name to win. More often than not it’s a way for companies to get some demographic info on you for marketing, or even just your email for future notices/spam. Thankfully most email giveaways don’t encourage spam, or unwanted emails.
I remember entering in every giveaway that was ever offered since I got my first guitar magazine. I’ve never won anything. Thinking of all those 3x5 cards that usually fell out of a magazine, getting them filled out, and into the mail. When the internet came into play, all the web pages with a click here to win button. Yet always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
Even now so many years later I still do it, getting extra entries for sharing with Facebook or twitter, even the Instagram ones where you have to capture and repost an image, which is kind of a pain in the butt. All in hopes for a win. A free guitar is a great guitar.
So in the spirit of winning, I’ll share with you a giveaway, it’s from John Mann’s Guitar vault. Every year he goes to the PRS factory, picks out some amazing wood, and sometime later a beautiful guitar emerges. He the offers it up in a raffle, for $103 a chance to win, and there is a limited number of tickets sold. The money raised goes to the Daniel Webster house, a charity for homeless teens in NH. A good cause, and a great guitar.
Even If I don’t win, I know it’s going to a good cause. Just on a probability scale though, eventually I’m bound to win something one day. Finger’s crossed.
