Enter now to win an Epiphone SG Standard Electric Guitar from SMG!!!

Most of the signature guitars that you find today are super expensive and often have to be pre-ordered….

The history of electric guitars can be traced back to over 70 years ago when a pickup was placed inside an acoustic and a radio was used to amplify the signal. But it didn’t take too long before a few great innovators came along to refine the sound, style and functionality and the rest is Rock ‘n’ Roll!

An event as big as GearFest demands an equally big giveaway of free gear! We’ve amassed more than $30,000 in gear that will be awarded to lucky GearFest attendees. Included is some of the hottest gear for recording, guitar, and live sound from Epiphone, Line 6, PreSonus, QSC, Roland, Shure, and Yamaha. You must attend GearFest and register in person in order to win.

For reasons I can’t really explain, I spend countless hours online and in various guitar shops looking at the many different “toys.” I don’t really have the dough to buy anything, yet I still hit up the stores, and browse the web. It’s not like I’m dreaming of owning an incredibly expensive guitar or amp, or anything like that. In fact, I am kind of the opposite.

The Epiphone Riviera has a warm, vintage tone that is perfect for instrumentals or clean based styles. A double cutaway, semi-hollow body gives this guitar the classic style that many guitarists have long loved and continue to play. The three P-90 single-coil pickups produce the raw tone that many blues and rock stylists seek.
