Plenty of these sweepstake things around now, seems fun if you fancy a flutter.

I joined a group and got the app for one, and there are some folks who have spent hundreds on them - they'd have just as well saved up and bought a guitar! Still, if you're having fun... 

Yeah that's it though mate, I don't gamble at all. I just figured for the sake of £5 it's worth a punt. I was curious about the CE24 Semi hollow, and had thought about part exchanging the DGT plus cash for one. I had a Tokai ES130 and sold that to get some money in. I also thought that the 335 bodyshape was a bit too big and delicate for me, so I was keen to get another semi acoustic electric again.

I had a punt on a £2 ticket for a squier starcaster. Didn't win of course. 

I ran the maths and the profits for the chaps running seem big, but then they have to advertise etc so I think it's more of a hobby with an overhead. I don't know if they make a living from it, but maybe it can scale a bit. 

Congrats on your epic win!

I once won a bottle of British sherry in a raffle. It's a wonderful feeling.

Before I had any idea about whisky, I won an 18 yr old bottle of balvenie in a works Christmas raffle. I drank half of it before a works do, and turned up absolutely hammered. I have no idea how I got home and ended up with a three day hangover. I now kick myself about necking such a nice whisky.

Good score! I won an LTD EC1000 from Guitarist once, but you've trumped that! Congrats, dude

Fantastic! Congrats, you must be filling great!

Tell you what, I'll give you a tenner for it and you'll double your money!

Great guitar.  Maybe my favourite PRS finish. I have the vaguely similar 594 SC Semi Hollow (basically a set neck, single cut version).  I think it's probably the best guitar I've owned.

Who’s buying a ticket for the American Original 50s Telecaster then?!

Some guys have all the luck. Best thing I ever won was a ticket to Wacken. Nice guitar!

Mate I've been to Wacken twice, that is nothing to sniff at! I think i ate 24 bratwurst in one weekend.

Congratulations. Love that finish, more understated than the usual Prs look. Will be very interested to hear what you think of semi-hollow nature of this model.

Did you see any band in between all those bratwurst?

This will be helpful for the haggling thread.

"I know a guy who got a CE24 semi hollow for a fiver thus my offer of ten whole pounds is extremely generous"
