V-Picks, Handmade Guitar and Mandolin Picks manufactured in Nashville, Tennessee

Nashville, Tenn. — V-Picks, Handmade Guitar and Mandolin Picks manufactured in Nashville, is combining efforts with the Mandolin Cafe to give away sets of picks to members of the Mandolin Cafe's online forum community.

Forum members will have 72 hours to enter the giveaway and 20 individual winners will be selected at random and announced (and contacted) Friday morning, January 10, 2014.

Unlike past giveaways that are open to all visitors, the V-Pick giveaway is open only to Mandolin Cafe forum members (regardless of location). Those not registered may do so by filling out a membership request on the site.

Entry into the giveaway will be achieved by simply replying to the News announcement posted on the Cafe's forum. As with all giveaways, products won may not be sold or traded on the Cafe's Classifieds, and winners of the 2013 V-Pick Giveaway are not eligible to enter.

The Prizes

Each winner receives $21 worth of picks as follows:

1 Tremolo 1.0mm, retail value $10

1 Saga 1.5mm, retail value $6

1 Medium Round Ruby Red 2.75mm, retail value $5

About V-Picks

V-Picks Inc. is a small, family owned business founded by Vinni & Nancy Smith who reside in Nashville, Tennessee. Vinni is a guitarist and Nancy is an artist. They share their love of family and God, animals (especially dogs), the ocean, and the fine arts. They have raised two wonderful children that are now attending college.

Even though Vinni originally started making V-Picks Guitar Picks in 1980, they were not sold and the company was not started until 2006. V-Picks are now sent to almost every country in the world and there are now over 60 models of plectrums! Also, the list of stores that stock these innovative, assorted guitar picks in their inventory grows larger every week.
