Default 2017 Indiana State Fingerstyle guitar contest winner!

Hey Everyone! Just wanted to say after 6 years of trying, I finally won the Indiana State Fingerstyle guitar contest.
I won a beautiful guitar made by Thomas Roeger, who is also a member of the forum.
I love it and I'm proud if it. It was very kind of him to donate an instrument of this caliber to the contest.
I'm grateful to have have played so well to win it.
Here's a video for you to see it!


And here is a video of me showing off for the first time.

That's great Lance, good for you! Enjoy your new guitar and good luck at Winfield.

Who is Clint Bear? The guitar you won is referred to being made by him, not Thomas Roeger. Here's the link:

Congrats Lance, and some fine playing in your videos.

You have provided a perfect model of what an NGD post SHOULD be:

1. Play the guitar and let us hear how it sounds in your hands. A picture tells us nothing. We are guitar PLAYERS here, not photographers!
2. Tell us about the guitar and why it is special to you.

Make it personal, make it real and alive.

Tony

Kudos, Lance! Finally, some serious street cred!

It couldn't happen to a more deserving fellow. Great job.
