GET ENDORSED. SERIOUSLY.

You make the music, you make the sales, we'll keep you in strings. Up to 18 packs of guitar strings and 6 packs of bass strings EVERY MONTH for at least SIX MONTHS, maybe longer. Maybe years.

TuneCore and The Ernie Ball Company have united to reward top selling independent musicians. For the first time ever in the music industry any artist can obtain a top-level Ernie Ball endorsement based strictly on how many songs they sell via TuneCore’s worldwide online distribution and marketing system.

The partnership will provide two types of endorsement deals:

• Top Level Artist Pricing: Discounted Ernie Ball guitar and bass strings to artists selling at least 50,000 songs via download from at least one album, EP, or single
• Platinum Level: Free Ernie Ball guitar and bass strings to artists selling at least 100,000 songs or more via download from at least one album, EP, or single

Once you are eligible, TuneCore will notify you via email or on your MyDiscography page. Follow the instructions to accept the endorsement. Each month you will be emailed a .PDF of your Ernie Ball Strings Endorsement Card.

Just walk into any physical Guitar Center location in the United States and present your Ernie Ball Strings Endorsement Card along with a photo ID with the same name that appears on your endorsement card.

Quantity limits are 18 sets of guitar strings and 6 sets of bass strings per month.

Your endorsement by Ernie Ball Strings will remain active for at least six months from the date your PDF is emailed to you. After that, it will continue on a month-to-month basis and can be cancelled at any time by Ernie Ball Inc., Guitar Center, or Tunecore.

In return for the endorsement, Ernie Ball asks that you help promote their products through a logo on your band's website, MySpace profile or any other on-line site. Also requested is a mention in interviews when music gear is discussed. If you choose not to help promote the Ernie Ball brand, Ernie Ball has the right to cancel the endorsement arrangement.
