Adam's GOTM Entry

[adam]

It's been a while since I last won GOTM... August 2012 to be precise. As there were no other entries, Phil and my JM-1 in Bunnings Can Blue was the clear and deserving winner. (This guitar now resides in DB's "spares" bin).

So, here is my latest effort, a TL-1 with flame veneer in Gold:



Ok, I didn't build it exactly, but I did pay our factory to make it, along with a selection of other, equally sexy looking, finished 6 string guitars.

I hope to have them all up on the site tonight. This is just a "sneak peek" of one of them (that I particularly like).

Edit: inb4 Gavin1393, yes, I know, points off for for leaving the plastic on the neck pickup cover. I didn't want to deprive a future purchaser of the pleasure of removing it themselves.

wow that is stunning Ads, for a minute I thought you built it and you have much improved on your building skills.
Lovely colour and that flame pops nicely. I would have darkened the flames a bit but still a stunning axe

Wokks - you've seen some of Adam's first attempts - an improvement of this calibre would be miraculous.

haha agreed Bman, I've seen an early Explorer build of Ads and he drilled out all 6 tuner screws holes through the headstock face haha

Glad Ads is sticking to the business side of PBG and DB is doing the builds and kit upgrades/mods !

HEY!! Unfair!

I don't remember the tuner screw holes, but I do remember "trimming back" the neck (yes I actually cut the neck, not the neck heel, the neck and fretboard) because I couldn't get the scale length right. Of course, the scale length was correct and I ended up with a nice gap between the shortened neck and the neck pickup.

Yes, I think my skills are best employed anywhere but building guitars.

Check this out though:



I can't build 'em but I can order them.

That works.
