 TEN MILLION VISITOR
CELEBRATION GIVEAWAY - THE WINNERS!!!
| Grand Prize - Rare edition
Ibanez Ozzfest Guitar, sponsored by GuitarTrader |
| The
winner of the rare edition Ibanez "Ozzfest" Guitar is Peter Teipe,
from Yorba Linda, California - "I didn't think I would win this guitar, but I'm
really excited to get my hands on it. I've got a few more grinding metal riffs that
need to be worked out into songs, so this should be the perfect guitar for that. 
I've always liked classic rock, but there has always been a metal influence in my
playing and my songs. The custom Ozzfest graphics should help inspire me towards some
heavier sounds. PJ's Guitar Chords, is a great resource for Guitar
players. A lot of good information and resources for guitarists. Guitar
Trader was very friendly. Nice selection of Guitars and amps"
Congratulations Peter, many happy years of playing your new Ibanez Ozzfest guitar!! |
