About the Prizes

  • Schecter C-1 Electric Guitar - Schecter has a reputation fo incredible quality, innovative designs, aggressive tone & styling, and great value. The C1 is a perfect demonstration of everything that Schecter brings to the table. The C1 has a Mahogany body, a Maple/Rosewood neck, and the TONEPROS Bridge featuring a couple of nearly invisible setscrews that simply lock the bridge to the mounting posts. The idea is simple, but the benefits are exponential. Solidify your bridge in place like stone, and it will never fall off again! No more worrying about scratching the face of your guitar or readjusting the intonation and action after a simple cleaning or changing of strings. Your guitar will sustain and play in tune like never before. Because our bridges secure solidly in place, your intonation will be much more accurate, and stay that way! $649 MSRP

  • Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackouts humbuckers - The Schecter guitar will be upgraded with a pair of these 9-volt active humbuckers for aggressive playing styles. Recommended for old school metal, garage, punk, thrash, drop tunings, and other heavy rock styles. The "other" USA-made active humbuckers use unbalanced inputs in a differential preamp. An unbalanced differential preamp is not very effective at canceling hum. Seymour Duncan engineers figured out how to capture the tone that players want in an active design, but using balanced inputs. The result is 12dB to 14dB less noise, more lows, more highs, and more output. Simply put, Blackouts have more tone than other active pickups. $248 MSRP

  • StealthPlug™ - The first audio interface for guitar and bass integrated into a simple, miniaturized, 1/4” jack to USB cable with full input/output processing for your PC or Mac.
