DOMINIC WIRDNAM, UK

Congratulations to Dominic, comiserations to those of you that didn't win, but thanks once again for entering the competition.

After 27 years by his side, Olga has decided that now is the time to part with his trusty Fender guitar case. The decision wasn't an easy one to reach, there were even a few tears shed... but, Olga thought it best if the case went to one of you lot, a fan who would cherish, and look after this prized most prized of posessions.
The case itself has certainly seen better days. It's exeptionally road worn and largely held together with gaffa tape, but that's what happens after all those years on the road, in the back of the van, and being thrown around at sweaty venues - take a look at the pictures below and you'll see what i mean - but this is a bona fide piece of TOY DOLLS history you see here... and it could be yours!
