Santa Cruz Guitars provided the grand prize of an OM-PW model for this year’s guitar category of the California Bluegrass Association Fundraising Sweepstakes. Santa Cruz founder Richard Hoover and California Bluegrass Association’s Lisa Burns, were on hand to present the lucky winner Paul Lawton of Ben Lomond, California with the guitar on November 3, 2023. Peghead Nation also provided subscriptions to several of the sweepstakes winners, and we congratulate Paul on receiving a wonderful new guitar!
