for all things guitar-y and you could win a Dean Dave Mustaine VMNT1 worth £799 (pictured below)!

Once again the time has come to proclaim what has rocked your world in the last 12 months... in TG's annual Reader Awards.

It seems like only a year ago we were asking you the same questions of 2007... oh, wait, it was.

Yes, 2008 was an eventful year in the world of guitar - the year Velvet Revolver nearly split, the year Slipknot brought back the shred and the year a punk band headlined Download. And STILL Axl hasn't released 'Chinese Democracy'...

And as loyal readers of the world's greatest axe bible, it falls upon YOU to unleash your mighty judgment on what rocked, what sucked, and what downright made your 2008.

So who has shredded, strummed or sweeped their way to the top in your book? What's the one album that has induced minor incontinence it was so good? Which band should be forever consigned to a bargain bin in Keane's basement?

Once again, YOU decide! And once the votes are in, one lucky voter will win a stunning Dean Dave Mustaine VMNT1 in Classic Black thanks to the kind folk at Bill Lewington Ltd (01268 413366).

PLEASE NOTE: Under 16s must obtain parental consent to enter this competition and be able to demonstrate this to Total Guitar's reasonable satisfaction.

So what are you waiting for?! HEAD HERE NOW to cast your votes!
