.stranberg* Spark
Over the past few months, we're been developing a special community project to develop both a 'Street Team' and a content engine, which was called codename: Spark. This project is a highly ambitious program that seeks the participation of not just guitarists, but all artist and anyone who is creative. We have chosen a Chairman to lead this project, Mr. Brock Benzel, who will be the director of the street team as well as guide for the content engine in which everyone is encouraged to participate. And by 'everyone', we literally mean EVERYONE (that's you reading as well). There is even a reward system for those who contribute the best content to the content engine. All the details/info on this program will be unveiled in the days shortly before NAMM, stay tuned!
