GearPipe is holding their first ever exclusive gear giveaway (congrats!) and up for grabs is a set of Fervor Handwound Strat pickups. These pups feature sand-cast Alnico rod magnets similar to those found in 1950’s Strats, high-quality copper wire and nickel-plated eyelets. The outputs are rated at 5.8K for the neck, 5.6K for the middle and the bridge is wound to a hot 6.4K. This set of pups would normally set you back $225.

Epiphone is holding a giveaway for the relatively new acoustic-electric guitar called the Epiphone SST Studio. The SST Studio has a solid mahogany body that has been chambered with sound cavities, that when amplified by an under-saddle pickup, produce an acoustic tone that’s feed-back free.
The Epiphone SST Studio has a street price for about $350.00 USD but everyone likes something for free.

Everyone loves free. Epiphone is holding a guitar giveaway contest for the new Swingster. The Epiphone Swingster is an arched top hollow-bodied jazz box with Swingbucker pups (Alnico V) with a parallel/series switch that’s geared toward rock-a-billy tones and jazz. We posted on the release of the Swingster a while back and think this guitar could make for a great alternative to the more pricey Gretsch models.
Register by November 30, 2009 for your chance to win the Epiphone Swingster. All you need is a working email address - it’s so easy. Head over to Epiphone.com to register.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned working here at Fretbase it’s that everyone loves something for free. Giveaways are hugely popular among our readers so when we’re learned about Roland giving away CUBE amplifiers we just had to post on it.
Roland’s “One in a Million” contest will give the first place winner one of every CUBE amplifier Roland currently manufactures, 14 in total. Second place will have a choice of five CUBE amps, and third place will have a choice of three CUBE amps. The only requirement to enter is to own (or borrow or steal) a CUBE amp because you’ll need a picture with you and the CUBE amp. You probably have to be a certain age too but we’ll let you dig through the rules. Creativity counts here too folks - a panel of judges at Roland will be critiquing your composition.

Are you a fan of relic’d guitars? Lately we’ve been hearing more and more about relic guitars, especially after Fender announced the Road Worn series. One of the drawbacks we’ve noticed with the Fender Road Worn guitar is that each of the Strats and Teles all have the same wear and tear marks. You basically lose what is probably the best part of a worn out guitar - it’s uniqueness.
Well we’ve found a great alternative for you. Rittenhouse Guitars makes custom built relic guitars that individually constructed and given their own unique look and feel. In addition Abe Rittenhouse only uses top quality parts, including Lollar pickups (you can also request your favorite brand if you like).
But it gets even better…

Updated May 8, 2009: We have an updated list with new contests. Go check them out now.
Lately we’ve been writing a series on the “Downturn Guitar” - economical guitars that are relatively comparable to the higher end instruments. In these tough economic times we all have to make sacrifices and sometimes that new Martin or Gibson might have to be a new Blueridge or a new Epiphone. But for some of us even buying any guitar might be out of the question. So what do we do when we can’t even spare a dime, brother?
We enter contests and try and win that guitar! Full story…
