  I would love to win a guitar!
  Very cool!

  I’ve never won anything I actually wanted. An electric guitar would make me feel like a kid again. I think it’s a great idea to give away your road-worn guitars as you put it. Since the sound quality is still maintained.

Battered and beaten. Perfectly in tune with

Thanks again!

on June 3, 2009 at 1:42 pm Jeff

Guitars rock almost as much as Stephen Arnold Music. Is that sucking up enough to win a guitar? I’ve used their music packages a number of times too!
on June 3, 2009 at 1:43 pm Judy Albrecht

Sign me up!
on June 3, 2009 at 1:45 pm Eric Dahl

Wish I was attending Promax, but at least I can sing the Blues on one of these Fender Road Worn Axes!
on June 3, 2009 at 1:53 pm Joe Fischer

Wow. I’d love to teach my son to play on that Tele! Have a great Promax.
on June 3, 2009 at 1:54 pm jon fox

Thanks for doing this again.

Well worn guy looking for well worn guitar to share classic rock songs with. Stephen Arnold Music wins contest of the year. Thanks.

  For us?!?

I thought Promax was that bladder control drug for older gentlemen.
on June 3, 2009 at 3:12 pm Brian Ross

Since I’ve never won anything (other than my wife, in a cliffside duel. But that’s a different story) I would love to win this beautiful guitar!

I’m ready!

From David Letterman…

TOP TEN LIST OF THINGS RINGO STARR CONTRIBUTED TO THE BEATLES

Wish I could be there with you all. Have fun and send me my new guitar!

i am with ruben on this one…i never win anything either!
if only my luck was a good as your music!
(that line should get me something:)
on June 3, 2009 at 3:56 pm Jeff N

My son is just learning to play guitar. This would be perfect.
I like The Vault.
on June 3, 2009 at 3:56 pm Bryan Johnson

The industry’s best promotion is coming back for more! Thanks for bringing it around again, S.A. Maybe this time my mojo will be firing on all cylinders!

Say hello to Max and Pro for me.
on June 3, 2009 at 4:06 pm Chip Miller

Thanx for this great opportunity to win one of your electric guitars. Though I can dearly use this instrument for myself, being that my guitar is at the end of its road, and I have been unemployed since returning from Iraq as a civilian teacher. If were fortunate enough to win, I will bequeath this instrument to the 16 year old musician son of my best friend who recently passed away. This kid is an amazing gifted musician, but lives in a small 2-room cabin in the desert with his mom and two sisters, and they have no money to speak of. The boy has already been offered a partial scholarship to study music, but he can’t afford to buy a decent guitar. So this win would be God-sent. Good luck to me, him, and all the other good folks who are trying to win. Peace. Chip Miller
on June 3, 2009 at 4:12 pm Jeremy Harman

Thanks for the opportunity!
on June 3, 2009 at 4:18 pm Mike Goldrick

Great giveaway… If I don’t win, I hope a deserving musician does.
on June 3, 2009 at 4:39 pm Jimmy

My “for real” road-worn Fender is nearly 47 years old. It really needs to stay at home and rest. Winning this guitar would allow my old Strat to retire gracefully instead of falling apart on stage.
on June 4, 2009 at 9:34 am Thomas Ciprari

Awesome promotional idea! Will have to sample some of the music to see what you are all about. Count me in for the drawing!
on June 4, 2009 at 9:59 am David Jewell

We love our music package and the GREAT SERVICE on special projects. You guys ROCK!

Did I mention I’ve always wanted a banged and beaten Fender roadie?
on June 4, 2009 at 1:51 pm Mark Kiesling

Count me in!
on June 4, 2009 at 5:33 pm Tony B

I don’t need to take a promax to get a woody for those fine axes! Whoa baby! Did you see that one on the left? Mmmmm mmmm mmmm…she fine!
- on June 5, 2009 at 2:51 pm Clay
  
  I don’t know, dude. The blonde in the middle looks pretty good, too!
on June 4, 2009 at 6:18 pm Wilson Middleton

I hope that I will win these guitars. These guitars would make a great addition to my collection!
on June 4, 2009 at 6:19 pm Wilson Middleton

Count me in on this drawing. I already know how to play guitar.
on June 4, 2009 at 9:11 pm Johnny Caruso

Beautiful looking guitars
on June 5, 2009 at 8:22 am Michael Riddle

OK… so I need a good guitar to make a Windmill videotape for the contest on TheWho.com to get another Strat autographed by Pete Townshend.

I think I would do serious harm to myself trying to do windmills on a Martin acoustic… so pull my name!!!!!!!!
on June 5, 2009 at 1:41 pm Sheryl

Fingers crossed! My daughter would love to go electric! Thanks for the chance! Have a great show!

on June 10, 2009 at 1:02 pm Scott

You guys rock.
on June 10, 2009 at 1:05 pm Chuck Ellis

Here we go again. As much fun as it is to pretend to hold a guitar and make AC/DC sounds with my mouth, I imagine this would greatly aid in that experience.

Ba…Bada ba…bada bah…Mee-nowna-nowna-nowna…

It would be awesome to win one of these guitars! Rock on guys!!
on June 10, 2009 at 1:20 pm John Marshall

Stephen, I submit myself humbly before the guitar Gods, empty hands, itchy fingers.
on June 10, 2009 at 1:22 pm Rick Owens

I could rock one of these on my new web show GuitarStar. That would be awesome!
on June 10, 2009 at 1:24 pm Ray sams

ROARING THUNDA!!! (insert pfunk hand gesture)
on June 10, 2009 at 1:27 pm Ray Lambiase

One man’s guitar, is another man’s banjo. I think Earl Scruggs said that. Or maybe it was Steve martin.

Nigel Tufnel: Well you would though, if it were playing.
on June 10, 2009 at 1:43 pm Mike Gantenbein

As a bassist, I’ve always been a fan of Fender – still have the ‘78 P-bass I bought as a teen And love my recently purchased 5-string Jazz Bass – it goes to all the gigs these days.

That said, a Strat sure would be a nice compliment to my project studio (already have a great Tele).
- on June 10, 2009 at 1:53 pm Clay
  
  Mmmmm, P’s and J’s. As a fellow bassist, I approve this message!
on June 10, 2009 at 1:44 pm Jason Knouse

I sure would love to be able to give a cool, slightly worn guitar to one of the musicians working in the station’s Promotion & Creative Services department! It would keep the smile on the face of one of our talented, hard-working team members!

Miss you all.

I’ll take a chance at a free guitar! Heck, with today’s economic situation, playing a “free” guitar may be my only form of entertainment………………………
on June 15, 2009 at 2:10 pm Tim Boknecht

Sorry I won’t be able to attend Promax, but it sure would be nice to win that guit-fiddle!
on June 15, 2009 at 2:23 pm Ben Ralph

Ok I will try for number 2, you sure know a lot of people. I didn’t think the odds would be so high, plus if I win you can come play it anytime. Its no different than being stored at the office as my house.
on June 15, 2009 at 2:30 pm Ben Ralph

Did anybody really win the other guitar?
- on June 15, 2009 at 2:38 pm Clay
  
  Sure did! Here’s the announcement from the first giveaway.
on June 15, 2009 at 4:17 pm Buffy

Air guitar is getting old. Need a real set of strings. No Promax for me.

C’mon Steve/Chad…it’s my Bday…hook a brother up! Not at Promax

on June 16, 2009 at 11:40 am Greg Fagan

This is a very kind thing to do for four orphans: The older ones so rarely find homes. These, I’m sure, will find love and an opportunity to play. Loud.

Bless your axe-placing heart, Stephen Arnold.

on June 16, 2009 at 5:53 pm Dave Manoucheri

Wish I could go to Promax myself, but would love a Strat that was road worn as well!

It would look good with my SRV and EC on the wall!

I don’t have any musical talent that I know of. Maybe I just never had the right instrument!
on June 17, 2009 at 9:43 am Ryan Hardiman

Hey, Stephen! I was just cast as Roger in RENT here in Charleston, WV. One of these would be AWESOME, since I have to play a Fender guitar specifically onstage. love the fact that they’re road worn. Please enter me in the contest!
on June 17, 2009 at 11:16 am Mike House

Thanks for the great music!

Coming up tonight at 10.
It’s a story of survival as a young news topical producer wins a guitar and starts a band with his two best animal friends.
How Whiplash the ‘dog-riding monkey’ and a skiing squirrel joined him and won ‘Battle of the Bands’ in Louisville.
It’s tonight in a very special newscast at 10.

P.S. I can play guitar hero…so I can probably play one of those…right?

on June 18, 2009 at 10:26 am David Schumacher

I love playing guitar almost as much as I like making documentaries about great guitar players and other musicians.

on June 23, 2009 at 1:10 pm Don Michael, Jr.

I wasn’t able to attend Promax/BDA this year, so I missed the opportunity to drop off my name at your booth. Thanks for the online chance…maybe this is the year…
on June 23, 2009 at 1:10 pm Alexis Ames

Great line up this year! Attended many interesting and intriguing events/talks! Can’t wait for next year.

I need a new fender, my car got rear-ended last week.
on June 23, 2009 at 1:18 pm Kathy

No whammies!
on June 23, 2009 at 1:18 pm Dan Coyle

Guys – thanks for doing this for those of us not at Promax. One of these Fenders would look great alongside my Carvin, Charvel, and Steinberger. I wish myself luck!

on June 23, 2009 at 1:32 pm Roberta Solomon

I met you all at the last Promax convention I attended, but missed this year’s gathering because of a family event taking place at the same time. Had I been there, I would have told you once again how much I admire both your music and your business…and then dropped to one knee to beg for a chance at one of those guitars! Thanks for the opportunity to do both, virtually!
on June 23, 2009 at 1:35 pm Heather

I would love to learn to play!
on June 23, 2009 at 1:37 pm Joe Revello

I have a 14 year old who wants to be the next Slash. Let’s make it happen.

AND… if I win that guitar I will make a model in Second Life (or my son will beat me to it) + play. BTW you could IM me + come over + play with your own digital copy.

How is that for a good marketing idea for you???
on June 23, 2009 at 3:12 pm Paul S

Need a new ax!

This would really change my AIR GUITAR game into something a lot more entertaining for everyone.

Pick me.
on June 23, 2009 at 3:20 pm Dave Falcone

Road worn guitars, an interesting concept. Like some fashions I guess. Its a look that implies you’ve gone the distance and know the drill. Without of course going the distance or knowing the drill. An interesting comment on todays society maybe. Hot guitars though and I’ll be lucky to win one…!
on June 23, 2009 at 3:25 pm Joe

Thanks!
on June 23, 2009 at 3:26 pm Francisca Hu

Gotta win this for my boss!
on June 23, 2009 at 3:29 pm Rich Williams

One of those guitars would be the Pride & Joy of any collection.
(from the way things went at promax, it’s the white 60’s model isn’t it?… a very Sweet Little Thang, for sure!!!)

Thanks to the folks at SAM for adding some extra excitement to the festivities last week.
on June 23, 2009 at 3:31 pm Mia Regalado

There’s still a chance? Those guitars looked so tasty at the convention… they were screaming to come home with me.
on June 23, 2009 at 3:32 pm Lindsay

I’ve got a Fender P-Bass, but it’s lonely!
It needs a guitar playmate!
on June 23, 2009 at 4:02 pm Glenn Kesner

Not as much fun as waiting to win a guitar near the escalator’s at Promax, but a great post-convention treat. Thanks for one of the things to look forward to this year.

It was an awesome giveaway. Everyone who won seemed to be standing right next to the guitar like they knew they were going to be taking it home. PLEASE Turn me into a ROCKSTAR!! I’m lucky I’m lucky I win guitars online!!:-)
on June 23, 2009 at 8:09 pm Ali

I’d love to bring my rock band hand to real life!
on June 23, 2009 at 9:18 pm Pauline

Thanks for the online entry! This should would make my summer more interesting. I might actually get to retire ole “Romeo” rightfully named so because the previous owner actually carved the word “Romeo” into the neck. I rescued it one late night/ early morning many years ago after seeing it abandoned and stringless on a lonely sidewalk on the lower east side. I often imagined some poor soul serenading his beloved, and after getting no response and feeling rejected and disheartened, tossing it away along with his pain.
on June 23, 2009 at 11:01 pm Julie

My son wants to learn to play, so this one’s for him. Thanks!!
