And the lucky winner of the Takamine acoustic guitar signed by the Eagles is

That's bloody brilliant!

I'd be frightened to play it though, things like that go for hefty sums on E Bay.

I just had a look at "autographed guitars" there is one going at US$5000 and one at $2,500 and some at $2000 so far. I never even heard of most of the people who signed them...

Whatever, enjoy.

Actually from the pictures it looks as if he can't really...

"I think Joe Walsh said it best when he said... HEY, I CAN DRIVE!"

Nice guitar, keep sake indeed... but boy would I be pissed if anyone as much as put a bloody mark on my taylor!!! Even Mark Knopfler couldn't sign my guitar... and he's as close as I'll get to having an idol in the music business (or anywhere I guess).

Hi pritch I dont realy consider $2,500 to 5,000 to be a hefty sum of money, it certainly is not enough for me to consider puting it on ebay, I will just keep it in its case and bring it out occaisionally to look at it.

And arnt you a better guitarist than Joe Walsh?

Rachel said you were on TV..! And you look like Joe Walsh as well...

The Eagles could play sweet but they couldn't rock until Joe joined them.

He played a pub in New Plymouth back in the days of the booze barns.

He'd been partaking of the recreational chemical of his choice, and at dusk as he was supposed to be performing, he was hiding in the (extensive) gardens dressed in a camouflage suit. A friend of mine was on the staff at the time and they were all combing the grounds looking for him.

Glad I'm not a promoter

Nice, congrats Steve!

You deserve it, and make sure you do have a twang from time to time eh!

Most excellent score! How did you win it?

Back in my muso days, I had a Flying V signed by Faith No More.

Ok so to be in the draw you had to pre order and pay a $5 deposit before 5pm Sunday 28/10/07 then you had to pick it up and pay the rest off before 5pm Monday 29/10/07 then they drew the winner on breakfast TV at 08:30 on Tuesday I think it was worth the farting around that I had to do. did you sell the flying Vee Aaron?
