Thread: May 2015 Guitar of the Month

  1. #1

    May 2015 Guitar of the Month

    Enter your finished guitar here to be judged for Pit Bull Guitars May 2015 Guitar of the Month.

    Remember:

    One guitar per member per month (if we have more than 6 entries)
    It must be a Pit Bull Guitars kit (mods and upgrades acceptable)

    We need 4 photos:


    • full guitar shot from the front;
    • close up of the body finish;
    • shot of the back of the guitar; and
    • close up of the headstock (please, no brand name logos)


    Post your photos in this thread.

    Please note: From the outset, this competition has always been exclusively for amateur and hobby guitar kit builders. If you are making and successfully selling finished guitars (from scratch or from kits), for a profit, then please do not enter this competition. Making guitars for friends or selling a finished guitar or two for charity does NOT disqualify you.

    Competition for May closes 30 April 2015

    Winner will be judged by the Pit Bull Guitars Judging Panel, including the winner of the April GOTM.
    Cheers,

    Adam

    My IB-7 build in what I'm calling "Xenoplasm burst"
    Very proud of this one. I used to own a 7 string but I had to sell it a few years ago when I needed the money. Very happy to have all seven strings back again. No matter which production 7 strings I look at none of them excited me, thanks to pit bull guitars I have been able to create what I could always see in my head.
    Cheers

    very nicely done Gerry you nailed the burst and the colours look really cool. Was it done with an air gun or spray cans ? I'll probably be entering a green and black axe as well, popular colour combo !

    I did it all with rattle cans, lime green followed by jungle green and then gloss black with a gloss clear. I wanted to play around with an abnormal colour scheme and I think it came out just the way I wanted.
    Cheers
