Week 1 guitar is a Washburn Electric-Acoustic Cutaway

This is an outstanding Dreadnought Cutaway acoustic guitar, with a Premium Solid Sitka Spruce top. The Cathedral Peaked Scalloped-X bracing is normally featured in guitars worth far more, so you’ll hear superior tone that improves with age. Mahogany body and neck, with a cutaway for easy access to the uppermost frets.

This great Washburn is ready to plug in for performance or recording, with built in pickup system and onboard tuner. The Fishman Preamp provides the most natural amplified acoustic tone, with volume, bass and treble controls and a phase switch for feedback control.

Other outstanding features include a two-way truss rod, “Nu-Bone” Synthetic Bone nut and compensated saddle for precise intonation, 1 11/16” Nut-width for playing comfort, and a custom Setup and calibration by famed Guitarworks Luthier and Blooming native Deric Rush!

Put it all together with a custom strap and Guitarworks Gig Bag case and it’s a package value over $800! It’s a guitar any Pro would be proud to take to stage
or studio-  and it’s yours to win from the One and Only Guitarworks in Greenwood—the place to Take Your Pick!

Week 2 guitar is a Takamine GD-20 Acoustic Guitar

Here’s the classic Dreadnought body style with mahogany back and a Solid cedar top with Quartersawn X-bracing. The Takamine GD20 resonates with loud, rich, bold tone and classic look you expect from a Dreadnought guitar, with impressive ease of playability Takamine is known for!

Takamine has been designing and building acoustic guitars for 50 years, at the foot of Japan’s Takamine mountains, with quality and value as their guiding principles. Takamine uses only the finest tonewoods, construction techniques, and is a world leader in technical guitar building innovations.

That’s why for decades Takamine Guitars have been the most widely played guitars on the planet. They’re constantly seen in the hands of music’s biggest stars – across all genres of music – both in studio and on stage!

Your friends at Guitarworks wants to put a bow on it and stuff it under your Christmas tree! With it’s smooth, satin finish, Guitarworks gig bag and matching Takamine Strap, it’s a package retail value over $600! And it’s yours to win from the One and Only Guitarworks in Greenwood—the place to Take Your Pick!

Week 3 – The G&L Tribute “Doheny” Guitar

The G&L Doheny is the evolution of the offset body Leo Fender design, inspired by the classic surf sound born in Southern California.

Doheny takes the bolt-on offset-body into new sonic territory with newly developed Magnetic Field Design™ jazz pickups, the first on any production G&L. So what’s it like? The sound is rich in harmonics yet surprisingly full – echoes of the 60’s with more output and range for today’s music.

Add Leo’s Dual-Fulcrum vibrato, allowing up and down-bend with unsurpassed stability, and you have Pro-level workhorse guitar that will be different from any other guitar in your arsenal- the results are just astounding! Weather you’re a gigging pro or a bedroom guitarist, on-stage or in-studio, you’ll love The G&L Doheny. It’s a true joy to play.

You can win this one- Finished in miles-deep Piano Black, including a custom Guitarworks gig bag- a package retail value over $900, presented by your friends at the One and Only Guitarworks in Greenwood- the place to Take Your Pick!.
