    I thought I'd start us off this month after the stellar October GOTM!

    This my first build - an STA-1M with a reverse stock.

    All stock components with a Wudtone and Tru Oil finish.










    And a sound demo:

    Thanks for your consideration.

    well done Nick, great looking and sounding build, no mucking around entering. I can see November being a big month !
    So is it an advantage to use 5 trem springs ? I've never tried it. Suppose you don't need the same tension as 3 springs
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    Dear God, if that's the first entry so far, November is going to be stupid big. Love that axe man, and your playing.

    Nick, that is one awesome surf strat. Amazing work on the finish, and I love the reverse headstock! Everything about this axe is perfect.

    Cheers,
    Gav.

    Nick, great entry nice demo. Your STA-1 really does have that surfy vibe going on with the grain and stain. Headstock gives it a unique look and interesting dynamics with the strings

    Okay, going to enter this month in the hope that there's not 12 bloody awesome entries like last month haha. Although it looks like I'm probably already at a loss as Nick's entry is fantastic!

    Anyways, here's my first ever build and first entry for guitar of the month.

    My JM-1 'Jag Dispute', inspired by one of my favourite bands: La Dispute.
