PRIZES
- Vivian Campbell Spec’d Gibson Les Paul Standard: For decades, Vivian Campbell has been synonymous with one of the world’s most iconic guitars, the Gibson Les Paul. He has deservedly had signature models released as a result. For this competition, Vivian picked a Sweetwater Exclusive Les Paul Standard in Lemonburst because, in addition to being a stunning looking and sounding six-string, its SlimTaper neck is a profile he gravitates to. Axe chosen, the next step was to customize the instrument to Vivian’s exact specifications.
- Phil Collen Spec’d Jackson PC1: British-born axman extraordinaire Phil Collen has been a proud Jackson guitars endorser since 1986, and his signature PC1 is one of the company’s best-selling artist models. So, Sweetwater grabbed a Custom Shop PC1 Satin Au Natural and then got on the phone with Phil to instigate his custom tweaks.
- Shure SLXD Beta 58 Dual Wireless System: Giving you a stadium-ready setup with impeccable audio resolution and plenty of range to command any stage — whether you’re Joe Elliott or just starting out on your musical journey.
- Jackson X Series 5-string Concert Bass DX V: In any venue — from a local club to an arena — the driving, low-end punch of the bass is vital. Along with the drums, it’s the very foundation of your band’s sound. This Jackson five-string delivers all the low-end clarity and thump you’ll ever need.
- Yamaha DTX8K-M Electronic Drum Set: While this impressive eKit offers up a truckload of bells and whistles, it is simple to use, thanks to the sound-sculpting options built into its three Modifier knobs. Its hyper-responsive kick-drum pad is perfect for double bass beaters, too. In a nutshell, the DTX8K-M sounds great and is as easy to use as it is fun to play.
