Win a Fender guitar with Thounds

It’s raining today and makes it not very happy then, so we thought it was a good idea to cheer you up and start a new contest to give one Fender Stratocaster away.

The rules are the easiest:

  1. Record a new thound, choose a nice title and type in the tag #fender1111 when prompted
  2. Get all of your friends to comment that thound
  3. Win the blue Fender Stratocaster if you scored the highest amount of users that commented

Comments will be count as from unique users.

You can apply with as many thounds as you want.

In case of even amount of comments the earlier recorded thound will win.

We will ship everywhere in the world for free.

You have time until Wednesday 30th November 2011 17:00 CET

UPDATED
Following server downtime during the weekend we asked our community to decide whether to give two more days or not and they have decided for more time, so:

You have time until Friday 2nd December 2011 23:59 CET

“A great potential player, I’d say.”
