So I went to a local festival last night in the hills (Jiggi, NSW is in the middle of nowhere) and good bands playing,etc. i saw there was a raffle price of a Squire Jagmaster, wow, i'll probably not win but bought 15 tickets at $9 (about US$6) and gave half of them to my girlfriend (she's a left handed player so i though if she win's i'll get the guitar anyway).
There was a 'Space' theme on the night so a bunch of Dr Spock's and dudes in space suits walking around, you know the kind of thing. So anyway, towards the end of the night they go to draw the main prize and some dude gets his name called out, and I think oh well didn't win, then the MC asks the price winner you got a choice "do you want the Fender Squier guitar or do you want the Daleck?" (Dr Who) The guy says he wants the Daleck (big cheer from the audience)
So they draw out another winner and guess who? Really cool brand-new fender Squier Jagmaster (no case or wammy bar but I can fix that)

its a real blast to win something, especially a great guitar

Awesome story to go with that guitar! You should hang one of those bitchin' flyers in the same room it's going to be living. 
Congratz!

Cool!! What’s the story with it? Did someone donate it from their collection or something?

Oh yeah, I got the better deal.
The guitar was donated by a local rehearsal studio who runs this festival.
The guitar plays real good, I got another 4 electric guitars but this is the only one with humbuckers, nice change

I dunno, that Dalek looks like a decent entry-level platform... probably just a few mods away from delivering all the evil (aka Davros Drip) needed for home use. Certainly better than an FRV-1.
