Grand Prize: Taking home his choice of a Fender American Standard Stratocaster® guitar or Fender American Standard Precision Bass® guitar is (drum roll, please) … tomk62! (Insert audio of crowd cheering here. Smile ) tomk62 participated all three required days and did a fine job of it, I might add.

Second Prize: Taking home a fantastic new Fender Deluxe™ VM amplifier is … texasguitarslinger, who also
participated all three required days. (More crowd cheering.)

Third prize: Taking home a new Firemist Silver Fender Sonoran SCE acoustic guitar, is … longtime forum member zod! zod submitted post all three days and that’s not surprising ’cause he tends to make a regular habit of stopping by here. Smile (More crowd cheering.)
