Oh my goodness!! Have you ever seen anyone dancing around the house, turning on lights and waking the dead up from their sleep and NOT caring about the scornful looks received in return? Welp, my family’s awake now and even with the blankets stuffed back over their heads, I could still hear their muffled, “Really!?!?”
Thank you Dan for this amazing gift!
I will treasure it, send pictures, and play you all a song! This is unbelievable! The last time I won anything was a pair of Buster Brown shoes in Sierra Vista, Arizona when I was about seven and got to be on the radio.
Thanks to all my friends and boss out on the internet for voting! Dad, thanks for having lots of friends! I love you! The man in Iraq - God Bless you and your friends in Iraq who you asked to vote too - come home safe! Buena Bozos you did great! Buena Rules! Sierra Vista raised a lot of giving people to have taken their time to do a couple of click throughs for me and to tell their friends.
Thank you to all the other contestants for taking time to vote for one of us four finalists.
I can’t wait to tell my daughter’s boyfriend!! Step one in blowing him away!! Ha Ha!! (gotta read my entry to understand that one).
Thank you again for voting!

Hi Tina,
I am so happy that you won ‘your’ guitar, I couldn’t wish that on a better transcriptionist!
We’re rooting for you in Idaho ~

Tina,
I’m sooooooo glad you *finally* got it! Hope you like it as much as I do. I picked it out myself. Amazing tone, great pickups and locking tuning keys to boot!
Take care, practice hard and send us some pics so we can post them here on the blog!
Cheers,

Hello Dan,
I emailed you a picture of my new guitar that you sent to me, but I haven’t heard back. So I thought I’d post the website URL to the picture for everybody to see who the person was that won the Amazing Guitar Secrets contest. ME!!
I’m really enjoying my new Strat!

Hey Tina,
Was so impressed by your blog. You sure deserve this guitar. Hopefully you enter some more of your songs online. I really enjoyed your Fields of Gold and many thanks for your tip on the website GuitarNoise.com. Im learning strawberry fields at the moment!
