Publishing company Haynes and Gibson UK are collaborating on a special competition for guitar players of all ages. The competition runs from 8 September to 31 October to celebrate the launch of the Haynes Gibson Les Paul Manual.

In addition, the first 20 online entrants to the competition made after the opening date of Monday 8 September will each receive a signed copy of the Haynes Gibson Les Paul Manual when it is published later this year.
