Wanna win a Nelson 12-string????

Many of you are aware that I had built 6 guitars that were destined to be 12-strings. Unfortunately it seems that there is very little demand for 12-strings and after the first one was completed I decided the other 5 will get repurposed.
If a customer ever wanted to order a 12-string I would make one but otherwise I'm not going to offer 12-string electrics as a standard item.
That means that this is the only Nelson 12-string to exist AND IT COULD BE YOURS! I am looking to do a giveaway!
This giveaway will be open to Nelson customers only.

You might be saying to yourself "but I'm not a Nelson customer! Can I still be apart of the giveaway?!"
Yes! Becoming a Nelson customer is as easy as buying a Nelson logo sticker! For this giveaway the stickers are $10 each. You are welcomed to buy as many stickers as you'd like! :cool:
For this to happen I'll need to have at least 100 stickers sold, so if you'd like to have a chance to win the 12-string send me a PM and let me know how many stickers you'd be willing to purchase. If I get enough interest I'll then direct everyone to send payment for their stickers and then I'll hold a drawing of all the Nelson customers and someone will win this 12-string.

Here are a few details: This guitar has a few cosmetic boo-boos. When I drilled out the holes for the tuners I grabbed the wrong drill bit and ended up with some blow out of the walnut veneer. I touched it up with some wood putty and lacquer but it isn't perfect. You can see it in the photos.
Also I had a drill bit wander a little when I drilled the holes for the string anchors and that's why they are a little offset.
This guitar comes with a gig bag. Shipping to you will be extra and will be determined after the winner is announced!

So send me those PMs and let me know how many stickers you'd like to buy and we'll see if we'll be giving away a Nelson 12-string!

If that thing were purple, it'd be perfect.

That's what she said?????

So far 21 is the number. That leaves 79 to meet the threshold.
If it doesn't happen it doesn't happen and I'm okay either way.

Well it's only been a few hours since you posted this, so I bet that lots of people haven't even noticed this yet.

I don't think the guitar subforum gets nearly the traffic that some of the others do, so I'll do some cross-promotion for this and make a thread in general linking this.

Well that might not be the best idea.
This is why I'm a bit uneasy about the idea. I don't want this to spread beyond ILF because all it takes is one wrong person to find out and then trouble's a'coming.
So let's just keep this on ILF.
