I can't believe I won the raffle! Guitars have always interested me over the years and to get the chance to pick out any guitar is an awesome oppurtunity that I'm heppy to participate in. As you know, there are many different types of guitars and differences between them all. Some are electric and loud, others are acoustic and calm. Many rock bands use electic guitars while many country singers use acoustic guitars. Each guitar fits the type of music it'll be playing! Guitars are also made out of many different materials including many types of wood, plastic, metals, and many other materials. These materials help the guitar sound the way it's supposed to and add differnet sounds. Another factor in a guitars' sound is the type of strings it has! Some srings are metal, others are plastic, and some are string! These all play an important role in amking guitars sound the way they do! I am very excited to participate and glad that I won this amazing raffle!

The first guitar I am looking at is the Gibson Super Earl! It is an acoustic instument and is also a banjo. I have never played a banjo before, but this one has five strings and seem to be very similiar to a guitar considering it is another stringed instrument. I think that learning how to play the banjo would be an awesome experience that I would love to do! The Super Earl is made of Indian rosewood and some expensive metals like gold and silver. It is five stringed. like I said before, and costs a whopping $55,000! The Super Earl is a beautiful instument as well, one of the most good-looking instrumnets I have ever seen! I have heard that the Indian rosewood gives the banjo great sound as well! This is definetely a possible canidate for my choice!

The second guitar I'm looking at is the Gibson Firebird X! This is an electric guitar which would be perfect for Rock n' Roll! The guitar is made to be comfortable and amazingly easy to play which is great for me who is beggining to play the electric guitar! It has a very lightweight body which is asl ogreat for me considering taht I'm a younger guitar player and would have a lot more trouble playing a huge, heavy guitar. The fact that it is light aslo allows me to play it for hours on end without having to rest my arms from supporting a big guitar! This would really help me learn to play it quicker and easier! Another cool feature the firebird has is acoustic voicing, which could make it more enjoyable to play considering I'm not the biggest rock n' roll fan! This is why I chose the Firebird X as a canidate for this raffle!

The final guitar I am looking at is the Gibson J-45 Standard! This guitar has been around since 1942 and has been Gibsons' top selling model ever since! It has a round shoulder body and is made of Indian Rosewood and mahogany. The rosewood, as I said before, provides great sound for any acoustic instrument and the mahogany also provides the guitar with quality sound which is what keeps the buyers interested in this amazing guitar! It doesn't have all the fancy metals or gadgets loke the Firebird X and the Super Earl, but, because I'm still learning how to play and trying to get better, I actually prefer that over all the other things that may get me confused as a beginner. It has six strings and twenty frets like my guitar at home, which would help take less time to get used to! All these reasons are why I chose the J-45 Standard as a canidate for my guitar of choice!

I have looked at three awesome guitars for this raffle and I think I have finally made my decision. All three of these guitars have cool and unique features that set it apart from the rest of the guitars I had looked at. Each guitar was different and had a different feel and sound to them, but the guitar I'm choosing is the Gibson J-45 Standard! The reason why I chose this guitar of the Super Earl and the Firebird X is because I am an average guitar player that doesn't need an extremely
