my cool guitar story


i had the coolest thing happen to me this summer... thought i'd share with you all.

well, i was lookin through this sam ash music catalog (they sell guitars 'n stuff) and i saw this contest to win a zakk wylde signature les paul custom. i sent in a few post cards... and crossed my fingers.

well, it took a while, but this one day i got this letter in the mail saying i'd won the guitar. i was jumpin all around and stuff. it was CRAZY

so... another month of waiting passes by, and it arrives at my door. i didnt even have to pay shipping or taxes. it was totally free. and lemme tell ya, its one SWEET ass guitar, dude.

lol... so, it doesnt hurt to enter those contest things. sometimes you get lucky! [img]images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

Re: my cool guitar story


I had an Epi Zakk Wylde Custom. It played nice, and I gigged with it a few times without any problems. A lot of people piss and moan about the passive EMGs, but they really weren't that bad. I was going to drop the 81 and 85 kit in there, then I got rid of it to get me a Tele instead. Wanna trade? [img]images/smilies/icon_dance.gif[/img]

Wow, that is so cool !

What does she play like ? Is it a heavy guitar ?

You are so lucky, that is fantastic news. Usually you never get to hear of anyone actually winning !!!

I hope you enjoy the guitar !
