BOLT GUITARS RAFFLE - DONE! @Jonathangus won!

digitalscream · July 2023

First off, I've been quite slack on this, so I owe @BoltGuitarsUK and @TTony an apology - sorry, guys!

Anyway, Bolt Guitars have donated one of their fantastic guitar kits to the forum, and Tony has graciously built it for one lucky bugger to win. Many thanks to both of them, it's much appreciated!

You can see more about Bolt Guitars here:

...and you the build thread's here:

To save you a bit of time, here's the guitar:

I think we can all agree that, despite a minor mishap (see the thread), Tony's done a great job there

Anyway, on to the details. As usual, this is entirely to fund the site's hosting and upkeep, and I'll stop it if we reach the equivalent of six months' hosting, and I'll do the draw on Sunday 13th August to give everybody a chance to get to pay day. I'm inclined to keep it to the same format as we've done previously: every £10 donation gets an entry, and you can enter as many times as you like.

DO NOT SEND ANY MORE ENTRIES - WINNER HAS BEEN DRAWN!

May the odds ever be in your favour/may the best forum addict win/etc

Update: @Rocker has generously donated a fancy strap to go along with the guitar!

@digitalscream ;

How many £10 entries need to sell to cover 6 months of hosting costs? Just wondering what the odds are in this raffle.

....way more than this raffle is gonna make

It's a bit variable, and also entirely dependent on exchange rates, but 100 is a reasonable approximation. I'm guessing the raffle will have closer to 40-50 entries, though, based on previous raffles.

I'd love that.... but I'm not going to enter as I won't win. At the moment, it's a single roll of a nineteen-sided dice. I couldn't roll a six on a normal die, where each side was a six.
