This is absolutely hilarious, but it looks like this was announced before Ed "Both Sides" Sheeran advocated for Peace In Our Time.

In fairness, the contest launched on August 19th, a good bit before… you know, everything.

    Thank you, I was sitting here scratching my head trying to figure out who thought this was a good look and you saved me from having to go down the rabbit hole myself 🫡

    Now’s the time for GC to back out of this.

    If you have an account with them, feel free to drop them a line and mention that Sweetwater.com is not associated with Ed Sheeran.

    What does Sweetwater have to do with this?

    They're a competeting online retailer you could choose to buy from instead of GC.

    It's so good, I actively want it to be worse. You don't need to call me to tell me my $12 set of strings have shipped, or to ask me how it went.

    I had them calling and checking in and would ask how my last show went. I never felt like they forced it either, genuinely nice people.
