Mulldoe, that hammered finish look amazing, great to see something different

AndrewA, very cool build, and a bit off beat, an interesting and cool axe for sure

@ Andrew well done on the PBG-1 its come up very nice with the logo you've applied and the sound demo sounded cool !

Hi, here is my PBG-1. Not a very original name, but definitely an original guitar.
From the original kit, the edges have been rounded and a very slight belly curve and forearm cut added.
The bone nut I carved from an old dogs bone after reading that DB did this once.
Pickups changed for Entwhistle Dark Star NDs. Volume and tone pots are CTS switches, each splitting a pickup. The knobs are changed for knurled black knobs that are easier to pull on for the switches.
The colour is Dingotone Black Stump burst over ebony Timbermate grain pop, Dingotone natural neck.
The headstock logo is black cut-vinyl under DT on the headstock, and over DT on the body (in case I feel like taking it off some time in the future).
... Everything else is standard

Nice. I especially like the motif on the front

That finish is extremely hard wearing, I've done all the desk tops in my office with it. Never thought of doing a guitar with it, but it looks great!

Agree this finish has come up well nice looking EX-1

Cheers everyone, I forgot to mention in my submission that the runes translate to "iron vengeance". Congrats to all the other entrants, these guitars all look great.

Here's my completed ES-3. All stock at the moment, but I will be upgrading to a set of P-90s and will be swapping out the tuners as well. Decided it looked better without the pickguard and truss rod cover

nice ES brewhook, love the headstock detail

Thanks to the 5 entrants, yet another impressive field of awesome builds. I'll get the Judging Panel on the job and hopefully have the results up by the end of the week. GOTM September open shortly.
