    Thanks to the judges for the feedback. Looking forward to climbing back in the saddle on...

    Oh, man, you put it together backwards. :p

    Seriously, though, nice work. The first one is a great learning experience, and it is a bit of an addiction. I'm working on everything I can find now. :)

    Well, dang, and here I thought I was going to win. :)

    OK, I'll go first with my MM-1Q, lovingly called the Haxis, that I just completed over the weekend. I once wondered if I'd ever finish either of these guitars, now I've gotten them both done within a...

    Congrats, Nitro. That was one of the sweetest finishes I've seen. Just like it rolled off a custom shop floor.

    BTW, Brendan, I once had the sweet mullet, but never the leopard-skin leggings. :)

    Pickups for the MM-1 came in yesterday. I got them installed and got sound out of it for the first time. Classic PAFs are a little more laid back than the high output PUs I'm used to. That will take...
