  1. This is a nice looking guitar and I’d love to win it (preferably not in pink). However, not sure how to enter the giveaway.

  2. I already subscribe.
    Superb guitar, any colour would be welcome
    love to win it, however I have never won anything before so not getting my hopes up.

  3. Appreciated your article “Rhythm Changes”, in the Nov/Dec 24 edition of AG. Still can’t play the chord changes fast enough: However, your article recharged my motivation to try. The Big Band Music seemed a big part of my listening life in the 40’s -early 50’s & still is.

    The article about the passing of Happy Traum was enlightening. I’ve had several courses from him & Homespun over the years. He was a Respected Instructor that I thought was always part of the “Learning to Play the Guitar” lessons of thousands of players lives.

    • My sons birthday is around the corner. He has always wanted one! He is such a insperation! He snapped and broke his leg months ago and endured so much suffering. playing brought him so much joy! Now that he is doing better I want to see his face light up playing his favorite gutair as a birthday gift! He would be so greatful! It will be well taken care of! It will grow with him for a lifetime. We hope you chose Eli!

  4. I am already a subscriber until Mar/Apr 2025. I will be renewing soon. Thank you. I hope I am entered into the Epiphone drawing.

  5. Am repeating my comment/request—how does one enter the contest? The entry page I’m getting
    doesn’t appear to have any link to an entry form.

  6. hi there,
    I am already a subscriber since quite a while and would love to win one of these nice guitars.
    I know that is a really small chance but you never know.
    Cheers,
    Nils from Sweden

  7. I’m a subscriber. Whilst it asks for country (in my case Australia) it won’t allow state or zip code for Australia. If people outside US are not eligible to enter then please state that clearly! It’s annoying, not good PR at all.

    • Hi Paul, International entrants are welcome: For entrants outside the United States: please enter your Postal Code and select your Country from the drop-down menu. The State field is not required, so please leave blank. We will ask for your complete address if selected as the winner.

  8. I have always wanted a Gibson Everly Brothers style guitar.

    This Epiphone comes close, thankfully without the large pick guards

    Love the stars

  9. I have heard great things about this guitar. Would love to hear this guitar with a K and K pickup. Maybe I’ll get back on stage and show it off.

  10. Same problem. The only zip codes on the entry screen available are American. Australian zip code is not accepted, therefore impossible to enter!

  11. All,

    There is no link & the form is real basic at the end of this article in the AGM email newsletter. Hope this helps the questions I see in here.

  12. I know I could be mobbed for saying this but, I’ve always preferred the Jumbo ‘J’ shape to the Dreadnought ‘D’ shape. I think these may be a slightly more manageable size, too. Any of those color choices would ‘pop’ nicely on stage. I’m looking forward to seeing how they sound and how they feel in the hand. Good luck, everyone!

  13. Beats me why Dick Rosmini, an incredible fingerpicking genius from the early ’60s, has never been featured in AG. And I’m an original subscriber from day one! I still love and subscribe to this rag but continue to shake my head despite my requests over the years.

  14. In 2025 I will retire. I would be over the moon to get a faithful companion for the new era. The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom J-180 LS would be most welcome.
    Greetings from Germany,
    Dieter

  15. Already a subscriber, but love your magazine, keep doing what you’re doing. I look forward to it every month.
    Winning a guitar would be great, but give it to the music for veterans program…help someone coping with ptsd. I know a world without music for me would be diminished.
    Thank you, Epiphone

  16. I’ll say it again…your online form does not work for entrants from Australia. Following your instructions to the letter, your response is ‘Invalid Zipcode’ which is incorrect. Get it right, please.

  17. I have enjoyed reading AG Magazine for years. Enjoy all of the articles: The ones I always look for are on the Swing, Big Band Era, & Western Swing Guitar. Within the past two years I’ve tried to learn Flamenco & read everything about it. Is Flamenco covered under one of your articles on Classical Guitar or is there an article that I missed. Knowing there are similarities: However, Flamenco guitars have a thinner soundboard, a Tap Plate , (or golpeador), backs and sides made with lower density woods like Cypress. I read up on Flamenco from other sources and purchased a Camps FL-11C Nylon String A/E Flamenco Guitar from the company in Madrid, Spain. If you have written articles on the subject, please advise. If not; maybe in 2025 AG will have an updated article on Flamenco. Seems complicated knowing which Spanish Scale to play with what. Found out a long time ago that the more I learn, the. more I find I need to know. Playing guitar is a lifetime journey .
    Thanks
