Win an ES-135 and George Thorogood Anthology from Guitar World

Win a genuine Gibson ES-135 and the new two-CD Anthology from rockin' blues guitar hero George Thorogood. Check out the current issue of Guitar World magazine and find the entry form. Fill it out and send it in. That's it. The contest is on now and ends November 15.

In the same issue read the "Ax Museum"--a historical and musical overview of guitar great and Elvis sideman Scotty Moore, including licks, techniques, and assorted Gibson guitars. His first Gibson was a goldtop ES-295 purchased in 1953. He later traded that in for a Gibson L--5 that he played until 1957 when he switched to the Gibson Super 400 he used on Elvis' "Jailhouse Rock" and other classic recordings. Interestingly, he sold that instrument for $80. It sold again at auction this year for over $100,000. Most recently he's been playing a Gibson Chet Atkins Country Gentleman.

Thorogood and his band, The Destroyers rocked hard through the '80's on the strength of numerous Gold albums and the hits "Bad to the Bone", "Willie and the Hand Jive", "Who Do You Love?", and more. Go to Thorogood's site here. Visit Guitar World online here. See the Thorogood's versatile Gibson ES-135 here.
