Happy New Gear Sweepstakes Winner Chosen... 2nd place to be announced shortly...

Posted by Jim Burger on Feb 13, 2012

Congratulations go out to SusanMaria from Ohio, the winner of our Happy New Gear Sweepstakes! She'll be enjoying a brand-new Squier Stratocaster and Fender Mustang Amp courtesy of ActiveMusician.com!

SusanMaria is a big fan of Eric Clapton, as she told us, "Eric Clapton is my Idol and has been since I was a teenager. He is truly a legend in his lifetime!!" It's only fitting that she should win a black Stratocaster, since Slowhand's famous "Blackie" is one of the best-known Strats in history... enjoy the guitar, SusanMaria!

We had several thousand entrants in our sweepstakes this time around, so we'd like to give a big "Thanks!" to everyone who participated.

We are still tallying referrals and should be announcing the second-prize winner shortly, who also gets a guitar, plus a bunch of T-shirts, so stay tuned...
