Contests: Helmet (Signed Guitar)

Posted by aubin on Monday, July 17, 2006 at 4:00 PM (EDT)

Tomorrow, Helmet will be releasing their first record for Warcon Enterprises. The record is their first since 2004's Size Matters and the latest in a series of highly influential records. For the record, the band aimed for a return to their classic sound, and worked with Strap It On and Meantime collaborator Wharton Tiers.

To celebrate this latest record, the band has decided to give away signed a custom Page Hamilton Signature series ESP guitar and all you have to do to get your name in the running is visit this page before August 15th.

You can see the band on the Warped Tour all summer.

Realistically, if I won this guitar, how much do you think I could get for it on eBay?

$5?

$10?

as good as helmet used to be, this new record and "size matters" are just bloody terrible.

Someone (July 17, 2006)

thats not realistic at all, you'd at least get the price of the custom guitar, right?

kingofsuck (July 17, 2006)

Not if someone scribbled all over it.

Someone (July 17, 2006)

One of my friends has one and it sounds nice.

Of course he also has a nice amp.

Someone (July 17, 2006)

Bullshit...I have 2 friends who are huge helmet fans. They would easlily fork over at least $500

Someone (July 17, 2006)

I never do this, but the news items are four items apart on this site. Therefore...

helmetnews.org

Sorry...

sceneupdates (July 17, 2006)

OH MY FUCK. Am I right when I say if you can afford a fucking guitar you can afford to send it outside US?

Someone (July 17, 2006)

Considering that ESP probably donated it for publicity, and that it probably only cost them like $5-$10 to manufacture, shipping would likely end up costing even more than the promotional item itself.

homie (July 17, 2006)

Strap It On ruled. Meantime was decent. Its been shits ever since.

"...the latest in a series of highly influential records."???

I don't think so.

theTruman (July 17, 2006)

Seriously what was with the vocals on this? Fucking abysmal.

Tahoejeff (July 17, 2006)

Sounds like their vocalist really likes Alice in Chains...I enter for a free guitar though.

Someone (July 18, 2006)

i've been a huge fan of old helmet, but this new record is horrible. really sad.
