I just love giveaways, don’t you? I mean what can be better than getting tons of really useful stuff for free?
Today I have the great pleasure of bringing you our latest and biggest giveaway so far! Last time we gave away some good stuff and I can’t thank all of you enough for making it such a success. This time I was able to team up with some more of the best companies who make and sell great products for guitar players and enthusiasts like you and I.

I had the pleasure of meeting John D’Addario when in Italy for the Sarzana Guitar festival last year. A very nice guy and I’m excited to be working together with D’Addario and Planet Waves for this great giveaway.

theArtofLutherie.com
A new website providing premium online classes, articles, live webinars, and other resources for guitar makers and players.
Through theartoflutherie.com I’m able to share my experiences as I continue to explore the art of lutherie, both introspectively, by sharing my thoughts and experiences in my own work, and also as I seek out and visit many of the great men and women building guitars today and try to understand what the art of lutherie is to them. I’ll be taking you with me on these adventures through my writings, photos, videos, and more.
I will also include technical “how to” articles and lutherie classes for guitar builders and players, but my goal is through it all, the underlying importance of this craft we share, remains in focus. I’m really excited about this blog and I hope you will join me on this journey to further explore, The Art of Lutherie!

Thanks for the chance!
Sweet contest ! Thanks for the opportunity !
Love your work, Tom! Thanks for having this giveaway!
Love this giveaway, Tom, and I love the beauty of all your guitars. It concerns me a little that there was really only one option in your contest for those of us who don’t Twitter or Facebook. I won’t bother with my own opinion about such things, but I guess in this day and age if you don’t Twitter or Facebook you’re kind of left out in the cold. Too bad. But thank you for the opportunity!
Hey Kevin,
Thanks for your kind words about my guitars, and for entering the giveaway. I totally understand about the twitter / facebook thing. I’ll try to think of more ways for people who aren’t into that stuff to enter in the future giveaways. Any ideas for me?
If you aren’t on my email list yet be sure to sign up so you will be notified of the next even bigger giveaway.
Tom – still love the Natura you built for me back in September 2001. Maybe it’s because of the significance of that period that it has an extra spiritual feel for me. I use it primarily in our Church Music Ministry.
Best regards,
Doug
Hey Doug, Great to hear from you!
Thanks for adding that note about the guitar, it means a lot to me, that’s the REAL reason I make guitars, to try to enrich the lives of the people I’m privileged to work for when I create my guitars for them.
Thanks for the giveaway, hopefully you will do more of these!
My Pleasure, I already have more in the works, bigger and better yet!
Make sure you guys are signed up for the mailing list so you will know when the next one gets launched too!
someday I will place an order. glad you are a young-ish luthier.
Sounds good John, thanks for the “young-ish” part too! You know they asked to see my ID at Home Depot when I was buying some spray paint, I didn’t think I looked that young! I’m old enough now to take it as a great compliment!!
PS: …I’m Actually 37 but don’t tell anyone…
Wow! I was finally back here to check out your new web page and saw this giveaway. Very cool
I’m really looking forward to the results of this give away! Possibilities for future giveaways could be things like guitar supports or other accessories like that.
Hey thanks for the chance, some convenient stuff you guys are giving away. I like haha. Always gotta love free strings, especially of your choice. Hope this goes to someone who needs it or me if nobody really needs them
. But yeah sweet giveaway. Ideas would be what robert said and also a moderately priced guitar but not the kind that people give away with a bunch of signatures some kind of logo or whatever, just the straight up guitar
Some real great designs & great works…Keep it up.
Awesome giveaway! Great site, I appreciate any musical instrument or accessory giveaway. I love music and anything to do with it. Great job.

Such a generous give-away… My son is the avid guitarist, and these items are things he can use right now. I try to encourage him to hang with it, but it doesn’t take much encouragement, because he is addicted to playing. Thank you for this opportunity!
