Consarn it, I just bought a ton of strings when MF had them on sale. Not a huge Slash fan, but the shopping spree and MM guitars look interesting.

Actually, you need your wire cutters for this promotion. Dang, I broke a string...time for a new pack. What?! Another broken string? Time for a new pack. You get the idea.
Just like that little rich girl in the movie, we all need a room full of people opening up string packs for us.

OK
Here is the inside.
This is one of the best promotions that our industry has seen. Brian created it and coordinated it and between Dustin at Guitar Center they had to overcome so many obstacles,,,,,Management, rights, legal, purchasing, independent third party verification of the picks...creating the marketing material....getting slash for press releases photo shoots etc.
It is the integration of a Company, an artist, and a huge retailer. That has rarely happened if at all in our business.
Now for the people who are unhappy with it being USA or being Guitar Center....Lets start with Guitar Center...They are the only company with the infrastructure and ability to transform an idea into a real promotion....they are the only company that can guarantee enough purchases to assure that it will happen...
This has no cost to anyone...its a plus...If you win you will have a lifetime memory even if you are not a fan of Slash.
Now a word or ten about Slash. Slash is a Rock Star. Period. He is publicly charismatic and iconic. Privately he is a intelligent, kind and caring human being. The lucky winners get to see both sides.
Go get em!

Independent third party verification of the picks. This is to weed out high quality fakes?

Whaaaa?
I mean, you dont have to love Guns and Roses to know that Slash has written and recorded some amazing guitar and was pivitol in rock music.
He also achieved one of the greatest guitar tones in rock history on AFD.

Sounds like you're just like me with strings, Keith. I buy TONS of strings (likely due to the large guitar collection).
Just makes my chances better! That golden pick is MINE!
