I got my inspiration from watching Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory.

Fender should put 10 golden tickets in the trem cavities (under the back plate) of Stratocasters. With the golden ticket, you get a free flight and hotel accommodations to Corona California and get a tour of the factory. I'd love to see something like this hehe.

If I got in, I wonder if I'd turn massive and mauve for trying out the new 'all licks in one' gum.

I'd love this. I think Brad or Mike needs to look at this.

PRS offer a sort of similar thing, I think it's called the PRS Experience or something like that... either way, I used to get mega jealous of some old friends who used to go.

Obvs, you had to pay for it...

I'd totally agree. Or if they put the tickets under the pickguard.

What about they hide the golden tickets in packs of strings? Then the people who get the tickets get a lifetime supply of strings!

Exactly! Good promotional stunt for Fender to get people to buy their strings...
