We’ve seen a few killer guitar giveaways this week, but I think this might top them all!
Eric Clapton and Guitar Center have partnered up to create the Eric Clapton Crossroads Guitar Collection, five replica and signature guitars – priced up to $50k – including three signature Martin acoustics designed by Eric and replicas of the original “Lucy” and “Brownie” electric guitars that were cherished by Eric and featured throughout his career.
And what does every great product launch need? A great giveaway (actually three)! Three lucky people will win a guitar from either Fender, Gibson or Martin. Other than the Martin 000-28EC Crossroads Madagascar Rosewood acoustic guitar, the axes being given away are not in the Collection, but related. The Fender is a Clapton Signature Strat, and Gibson is putting up a Les Paul Custom.
Oh, did I mention that each winner will also score a trip to New York City and special tickets to Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival? Yeah, there’s that, too. The total value of this prize is $22,300!
Enter HereEntry Deadline: March 31, 2013
Eligibility: US-only, 18+
