Johan Cauwels – Epiphone Joe Pass Emperor

What an absolutely wonderful guitar. Big thanks to Crimson and Ben to set this raffle up and sending it in a solid package to Belgium. 

Perfect addition to my strat, the home-made t-style (inspired by watching Ben on his channel) and the Ibanez artcore. 

Looking forward to visit the museum and I’ll keep participating in the raffle. Keep it up ! 

Jean-Pierre Mangin – Japanese Squire Stratocaster in Olympic White

I am still in awe at winning this amazing piece of history. What stuns me further is the fact that it has made its way from Japan close to 40 years ago, to Ben and Co at Crimson and to my hands in Canada. The neck is straight and it plays like a dream and the aged Olympic White is a real stunner.  

A massive thank you to Crimson Guitars for hosting this. I would never own this without it.

James Gammon – Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 in Matte Army Drab

Thanks to everyone at Crimson Guitars! Not only for giving me the opportunity to win this cool guitar but for all the entertaining and informative video content I’ve become addicted to on YouTube. This is actually the second Charvel I now own – the first one being an old Avenger that my dad bought me 34 years ago (I still have it – albeit pretty modded at this point!). The Pro-Mod is a really fun guitar to play and is already getting plenty of use. Thanks again!

Ross Bullimore – Sheeran by Lowden Acoustic Guitar

“Thanks so much to the whole Crimson / Daily Guitar Draw team. All the work that goes into the YouTube channel and the guitar museum development on top of the Crimson day to day work is super impressive and appreciated. Have to keep buying the tickets to support!

A complete shock for someone who ‘never wins raffles’ to come away with such a lovely little instrument. Found a happy home here amongst my little collection, and dare I say it even a couple of subtle mods/ upgrades I’m already considering tinkering with..it’s a keeper! 

Thanks team. “

Ian Roberts – Fender Jaguar ’66 Reissue MIJ in Tricolour Sunburst

I’m from the suburbs of Pittsburgh, PA and I have been playing stringed instruments for around 17 years. I started building my own in 2020 (thanks to instructions from you guys). So far I have built 5 guitars, 4 basses, and 1 solidbody Irish bouzouki (the one on the far right on the wall). I used to play bass for a band called Radio for the Daydreamers but the other members all moved to various spots across the country in the last couple years. I’m thinking of getting back into some writing/recording as a solo act again so this Jag may very well make it onto one of my next projects. 

John Lavoie – Crimson Guitars Shou-Sugi-Ban Copper Rodded Descendant

Winning a Crimson Custom Guitar is just so much better than any of the 
commercial brands you have given away (IMO). I went back and watched Mark 
(Pherotone Studios) demo it. I forgot how awesome it sounds. Now I think 
I’ll go back and hunt down the videos of this guitar being built. 

Ben, thanks for all your instruction and knowledge sharing, you are one of 
the main reasons I’ve made the jump into building guitars. I’ve built 2 in 
the past 10 months (see attachment) and have 2 more in the design phase. A 
cello inspired swirly P90 thing and a short-scale (31″) bass with a 
DiMarzio humbucker pickup (styling still in progress). 

Quentin Machez – 2004 Gibson Les Paul Standard Flametop in Honeyburst

I started playing at age 5, taken lessons since and graduated some years ago from a profesionnal training music school (EF2M, France).

I’m now a pro musician, guitar teacher and session guitar player.
I’m currently playing in Extreme Metal bands; Nirnaeth (Black/Death Metal) and Malcuidant (Black Metal).

Ashley McCartan – 1999 Fender Inca Stratocaster

I’ve been playing guitar for years, but only really started investing myself into it seriously about two years ago, where I’ve really started working hard on technique, music theory and other factors around the guitar, which led me to Crimson Guitars. I play a bit of everything, from Ben Howard or Fink on the acoustic to QotSA, Arctic Monkeys or Tom Misch on the electric.

I recently joined a cover band called Floyd’s Barbershop in Dublin, Ireland, that covers songs by Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age and Foo Fighters. We’re getting set for a few gigs in a couple of different counties in Ireland, so winning the Strat couldn’t have been better timed!! 

Phil Prociw – PRS SE Hollowbody

My name is Phil and I’m an engineer living in Michigan, USA. In my spare time, I play the bass, however recently picked up the guitar as something new to learn.

The Hollowbody arrived today in perfect condition. Thank you for taking such care in packaging the guitar.

The Hollowbody is such a fantastic guitar. Great tone and sustain.

Thank you again, and I’m glad that the giveaway helps contribute towards the guitar museum.

Brendan Shaw – Hutchins Double Cut

I have been playing since my late teens with a few bands without any success.

My ambition didn’t match my skills unfortunately.

I found my skills better suited to busker nights( I can murder a rem song).

Since lockdown I find myself tinkering and fettling guitars(which I absolutely love doing).

So this weekend I’m doing a re fret level and crown, after watching too many of bens videos.

So its bens fault if it goes T*tt@ up.

Hope to come and see the guitar museum when its ready.

Anthony Ingianni – American Original Fender Stratocaster

I started playing guitar because I loved guitar hero so much I wanted to give it a try. While I may not take it farther than casually learning a riff from my favorite band, I do really love that feeling of being able to play.

I’ve always been a tinkerer and I love to modify and learn about my hobbies. As much as I love playing guitar I also love owning and modifying different guitars, making them my own and displaying them.
