"What the?!?" Contest
Free Mercury Magnetics T-Shirt Giveaway
(Click on the above thumbnail for a full-sized PDF of the ad)

Contest description: See our full-page ad (or click on the above picture for a PDF of the ad) in the March 2006* edition of Vintage Guitar Magazine. The ad is built from a tacky vintage photograph (circa late 1950s). We've made a few alterations and additions to the original photo. Your mission is to find as many of these changes as you can (there are 47 in total), make a list and then email it to us. If you are one of the first to have the correct (or near correct) answers we'll send you a FREE 2nd Edition Mercury Magnetics T-shirt (quality-made, 100% cotton).

[NOTE: For the answers to last month's contest, follow this link.]

*Note that this issue actually comes out in the first week of January 2006!

Here's all ya gotta do:

  1. Study the photo that appears in our full page Vintage Guitar Magazine ad or the PDF above.

  2. Make a list identifying every alteration and change you can locate (excluding the transformers in the foreground). Please be as specific as possible -- but you only need to give a general description. Example: "photo of John Lennon on the wall" -- or "photo of two longhaired guys, one wearing sunglasses."

  3. Email your list, along with your Name, address, phone number and preferred shirt size to Contest@MercuryMagnetics.com.*
    Or, fax your list to (818) 998-7835.
    Or, mail your list to:
