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.

Ok, lets get the ball rolling for June 2015 GOTM.

Finally got this finished...

JR-1M, bone nut, Kluson tuners, Epiphone truss rod cover, GFS P90 & bridge, CTS pots (full sized 500K vol & 250K tone) w/orange drop cap. Switchcraft jack. Colour was a home brew Colortone orange mix. Finish is 4 very thin coats of TruOil. I've kept this finish matte and non-grain filled. The grain came up very nice with no special technique, just the dye and TruOil.

I may upload some better pics once my real camera has charged up. Only have a phone available so limited angle lens..

cheers,
Gav.

[andrewdosborne]

Cheers everyone. I'll try and get sound demo uploaded tomorrow

Hey Andrew, is this the one where we were worried about the neck pocket? Would you say that our concerns were unwarranted?

Looks like a pretty sexy JR to me.

How does the neck feel to play? Is there any movement?

Sorry if you addressed this already.

[andrewdosborne]

Adam, yes this is the model with neck pocket concerns. No issue with the join and the neck feels great. I did have to sand a bit off the neck heel to level things out but it was only a minor fix.

As you can see it's now made its home under my reading lamp hence now primary axe ☺

Looks amazing Andrew, well done.
