CMT and Taylor Guitars Announce the Winner of the Design Rascal Flatts’ Tour Guitar Contest

Posted by Country Girl on May 19th, 2012

It’s not every day that fans get to become part of one of the hottest tickets in country music, but for Peter Geiger from North Carolina, he’ll get to do just that. As the winner of the Design Rascal Flatts’ Tour Guitar contest, presented by CMT and Taylor Guitars, he’ll enjoy seeing a guitar that he designed played by Rascal Flatts on their upcoming Farmers Insurance Presents “Changed Tour.” In addition to the guitar being played by band members onstage in cities across America, Geiger will enjoy a VIP experience to see the band live and receive his own autographed, custom-designed Taylor GS8 model.

Geiger’s winning design, which features a license plate theme and the word “Changed,” a nod to the band’s new album, was applauded by band members Gary LeVox, Joe Don Rooney and Jay DeMarcus in the video below as they sorted through hundreds of entries.

As an artist who designs guitars out of old license plates, Geiger tells us he was selective in his composition.

“Each guitar tells a person’s life story. I used those [license] tags because that’s where the band is from, Ohio, Oklahoma, and now, Nashville, Tennessee.” Geiger, who has been designing for about five years, heard about the contest through the Web. As a country music fan, he says it’s exciting for him to win this contest. “It’s the first guitar design of mine that will come to life and be played,” he shares. “I can’t wait to see it on stage.”

While the grand prize winner has been selected, fans will have additional opportunities to win Rascal Flatts autographed GS Mini guitars at select concert dates, on CMT RADIO LIVE WITH CODY ALAN, and on CMT.com, provided by Taylor Guitars. In total, CMT and Taylor Guitars will give away 15 guitars throughout the summer-long promotion.
