I won! I would have never thought this would happen in my wildest dreams! I get to choose any guitar in the world for free! I chose the Guild GAD-F40E Grand Orchestra Acoustic-electric guitar. I bet many people would kill for a guitar like this one. Its only 1,800 dollars too!

I was debating between two other guitars but in the end I went with this one. I chose this one because, I would be playing different types of music so I can't switch back and forth with two different guitars so I picked one that has a wide range of play styles. With this guitar, since it is acoustic-electric, you can play more than just one type. For example, you can play country, blues, and rock without switching your guitar! This made my decision easy, this one is the one!

This guitar is made of 100% solid maple wood base on the 1955 F-40 Valencia body shape. This guitar has a very natural sound because of the way that they constructed it. This guitar also has Guild L350 Phosphor Bronze strings for a wide variety of play styles. I like these strings better than nylon because it has a shallower sound even though it hurts your fingers more, I'm all for the sound.

My guitar come with, a Delux Hard Shell case, a strap and more! I would choose this case because, first of all, it comes with the guitar so as long as I get a case that will protect my guitar and as long as it fits, I'm fine with it, and second of all, the case isn't even the most importaint part of the prize.

So in the end I picked the Guild GAD-F40E Grand Orchestra Acoustic-electric guitar. I picked it because, the guitar is acoustic-electric so I can play different kinds of music with only one guitar. Also I picked it because, it has a great price and a natural sound. What else do you need! I can't wait until the guitar finally comes in! I need to get my hands on that thing!
