Enter now for your chance to win an autographed prototype of the Gibson John Hiatt J-45 acoustic guitar, (the very guitar that John Hiatt played at SXSW!), a personalized note to the winner from John Hiatt himself and a personalized, one-of-a-kind DVD featuring footage of John Hiatt playing this guitar at SXSW. Five runner-ups will win an autographed CD of John Hiatt's new CD The Open Road and poster.

From his first hit penned for Three Dog Night while working as a Nashville songsmith (1974’s Billboard No.16 “Sure As I’m Sitting Here”) to his highly acclaimed new album, The Open Road, John Hiatt has long been celebrated as one of the most potent songwriters in the business, and as a solo artist in his own right, his voice is known for its unparalleled power.

While his songs have been recorded and performed by Bonnie Raitt, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton & B.B. King, Rosanne Cash, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, Keith Urban, and many others, few experiences are as moving as sitting in a packed house while a lone Hiatt and his acoustic guitar belt out “Have a Little Faith in Me”, “Perfectly Good Guitar”, or “Crossing Muddy Waters”. In celebration of this artist’s achievements, Gibson presents the John Hiatt Model, a custom-appointed acoustic guitar from the luthiers of Bozeman, Montana.
