Enter 3 contests for chances to win Gibson, Epiphone guitars
Are you feeling lucky? There are three contests now running for two different Gibson electrics and an Epiphone acoustic-electric signed by the legendary Don Everly.
First, go to gbase.com and register to win a Ruby Les Paul Studio. That's right, a Les Paul electric guitar. The arrival of the Les Paul Studio in 1983 offered guitarists all the essential elements of a Les Paul Standard, including a carved top and humbucking pickups, in a simple yet elegant design. It quickly became the most popular model in the Les Paul Series.
Gbase.com is a virtual mall for guitarists offering access to both vintage and new guitar dealers. It also offers player resources, useful news features, and lessons for guitarists of all abilities and interests. It is one of three sites in the musician.com network including musician.com and guitar.com.
Don't' leave the internet yet. Not before you go to musician.com and register to win an original 1973 Les Paul Jr.Special from Dreamworks Records to coincide with today's opening of the movie Almost Famous by celebrated director Cameron Crowe (Jerry McGuire).
The Les Paul Junior with one P-90 pickup debuted in 1955 with great success. The double P-90 pickup Junior Special followed the same year. This year Gibson introduced the Les Paul Junior Special with the upgraded P-100 stacked humbuckers--a thoroughbred descendant of those two legends. It can deliver screaming solos when overdriven and produces fat, crunchy rhythm sounds that really have an edge. The P-100 is a versatile pickup and can be used for most types of music. "Dog ear" mounting option available.
Almost Famous is set in 1973 and chronicles the funny and often poignant coming-of-age of 15-year-old William (Patrick Fugit), an unabashed music fan who is inspired by the seminal bands of the time. When his love of music lands him an assignment from Rolling Stone magazine to interview the up-and-coming band "Stillwater"--fronted by lead guitarist Russell Hammond (Billy Crudup) and lead singer Jeff Bebe (Jason Lee)--William embarks on an eye-opening tour with the band, despite the objections of his protective mother (Frances McDormmand). Throughout the band's journey William learns a life-changing lesson about the importance of family--the ones we inherit, and the ones we create.
Finally, cruise to marsmusic.com and enter to win an Epiphone acoustic-electric signed by the legendary Don Everly. You'd better hurry on this one. It ends this week.
