Just a point of interest, in America, they often call them 'condensors'.
Why not make it 'Guitar of the Financial Year' and vote in June instead of the busiest time of the year?
Just a thought, but shouldn't all the 'chatter' go in the build diary pages?
We've now got 11 pages to trawl through to see all the entrants.
It sure looks like it's made of stone. Love it!
Doc, he means the END of next year...
Pay attention!
Best I ever found was a '72 Fender precision for $50 at a garage sale.
It was was pretty beat up, so refinished it and kept it for about 15 years. I eventually sold it for $850 to enable me to...
Only 3 days to go now. It ain't gonna happen...
So I've got til midnight on NYE, WA time?
Couple of points for a diehard pedant as myself.
The insulated middle section of a capacitor is called the 'dielectric'.
The correct term for a polarised capacitor is an 'electrolytic'...
Don't bet on it...
I did something similar with my headstock. I ended up buying a set of Forstner bits and plug cutters from Carbatec, plugged the existing A, D, G & B holes and redrilled.
My headstock is...
I never had any intention of touching the back Waz. I've gone as close to the edge as I intend to. Just got to get the orange out of the flame and try to 'pop' it a little better this time.
I'll...
Lucky I've still got some sandpaper. And I thought the majority of the heavy sanding was over... (yes FrankenWashie, it WAS!)
Oh well. Still got a way to go.

The back is solid black...
I was hoping the sanding part was over...
That's a great burst. It gives me hope that I may yet salvage some pride with my first PRS build. (Now where did I put that pile of sandpaper?)
Well, at least this one is progressing promisingly. I put a couple of coats of DB's favourite finish last night and it's looking a lot better than the other pig's ear.

Headstock....
Mine's hit a rather large speed hump. The top needs stripping back to bare wood and starting again.
So now I reckon I've now got 380 days up my sleeve...

I hear ya!
I'm going to try to take it back to bare wood first. If I don't go through the veneer, I'll try the burst again. If I do go through, it's a black guitar.
I'm BAAAAAACK!
I finally got around to moving my builds a tiny tad closer to completion.
The burst on this build has gone completely tits-up after it was looking so good back in April. ...
What about having a couple of different categories?
Suggestions for categories:
- Complete non-PB kit builds
- Complete scratch builds
- restoration/refurb
- refinish
Hey Adam
When are submissions closing for this 'contest'?
I'm about to gut my shed, as in get rid of the clutter.
After that, if I can get a few days run on my first build, it COULD be done by...
