Fantastic competition site
Fantastic competition site, well designed for guitar lovers.
One small critique, occasionally prizes go astray, which I am sure is the fault of the carrier used.
When I contact G M the problem is sorted immediately.
I won a Les Paul Gold Top!
I won on the 22nd Feb and received a gorgeous Gibson 50’s Goldtop! My second win. Thanks to the team for coming through with the goods!
Reverend Buckshot
I was fortunate enough to get an instant win prize on Valentine's Day. Best Valentine ever. The Reverend Buckshot is a dream. Versatile, fun and inspirational. It's become my favourite. I prefer it to some more valuable and collectable brands. Arrived with full tracking on time, packaged with love, better packaging than some new retailers. I see why Billy Corgan and so many others use Reverend, truly great feel and tone and sustain. Hope to see more Reverend competitions.
Won a Gibson Les Paul
Won a stunning ebony Gibson Les Paul Trad Pro with a couple of tickets. The guitar is in great condition and is a joy to play. The delivery was quick and adequately packed with no major complaints. Look forward to playing some more!
Winning a guitar and site credit…
I have won a guitar and site credit from The Guitar Marketplace. The credit was instantly applied to my account, I was notified by email of my Guitar win and had it delivered within a week. Highly recommend this site!!
Great music competition site
Great music competition site, something for everyone. Recommended
Good business, but not an alternative to buying a guitar
Good people. Had a problem with my tickets which was very quickly resolved. Although i must have spent nearly £400 and had nothing in return. Of course it is luck of the draw and maybe i’m just not so lucky. Overall a good well run business, but i wont be buying again, as it in no way is a alternative to buying a guitar if you think it is this certainly isn’t for you and you'll feel rather hard done by when you’re nearly a grand down with nothing to show, this is more about the fun than anything!
Won a guitar back in November
After winning the guitar on the 23rd of November I have just received the guitar today. While I am delighted to have won the guitar I must say waiting nearly 3 months and constantly chasing up information on delivery has took some of the excitement of winning away. Don't think I will be buying a ticket again. I will say the guitar is immaculate and my wee lad loved playing it today.

Couldn’t be happier I’ve won 2 guitars already in 2024. An amazing Gibson SG and a beautiful Fender Telecaster! Great company, amazing guitars and so happy!

Have been lucky on a few occasions and won some nice stuff, guitars, amps and other gear.
I usually collect prizes and can confirm that it is a properly constituted business with its own premises.
Rickenbacker 360 winner.
I occasionally enter these draws, I usually buy one ticket for something if it’s something I really like, just for a bit of fun. Anyway, happy new year to me, I won a Rickenbacker 360 FG. It arrived today, it’s glorious. Communication was great with TGM, delighted. TGM is what it says, the odds are shown when you buy your ticket, good luck. It worked for me.
Don’t get addicted! And be prepared to wait for your gear…
Competitions are easy and fun play and a great range of prizes. Be careful not to get addicted to the thrill of winning!
One are that needs improvement is on delivery turnaround - in my experience the response and speed of shipping of prizes is pretty patchy. (And I’ve won multiple times in the last year, so it’s not just an isolated case).
Everything arrives eventually, but turnaround times from winning to shipping aren’t dependable and on several occasions I’ve had to chase up multiple times before prizes have been shipped.
Some people have all the luck
The same person has won every week between Jan and October. What are the odds. Won't be entering again.

Good selections of prizes at great prices! Maybe some people buy more tickets than others but, it seems to be the same people winning all the time.
Maybe I'm just bitter 🤣

Well presented to an easy to follow formula. Prizes always attractive within reach of participants and you don't talk down to anyone. All I need to do now is to win something. Do your best lads!
Brilliant Competition
Brilliant Competition. Won a beautiful Fender American Ultra Luxe. Won on Thursday. Delivered Saturday. These competitions are awesome, a great chance to win some amazing guitars for less than a coffee :). Thanks Guys!
Very lucky win
I won the guitar with a single 99p ticket. Was totally delighted when I got the news. Communication and responding to my emails could have been better, but overall pleased that the guitar eventually arrived safely.
