[adam]

Here's the first official entry for March Guitar of the Month. This kit, from our friend Wokka, is really impressive in the flesh.

Hi Adam,
you might want to change the subject title to March 2013 ! easy mistake. Glad you were impressed with the flying V, I'm happy with the setup without needing much tweaking.
Here's another photo of the Flying V with his good mate pine solid body 2 in columbian gold just got gold highlights lastnight

Best of luck to all other March 2013 GOTM entries

cheers Wokka

And the second official entry, Gavin's Emerald Isles SG-1...

This could be a bit of a tough one! They both have colours that totally suit them!

[adam]

Just for clarification, the GOTM will be judged on a series of photos of each guitar submitted, not just the single photos posted in this thread.

Is that a sound hole routing template you are seating the SG on???

[Gavin1393]

Haha, no, it's actually a sheet of perspex that I was using to keep the guitar of the grass!

The perspex used to operate as a barrier between my compressor and the dust flying around my 3x3 shed.....but since getting a proper Humidity room where the compressor now lives, and the dust extractor, the perspex is slowly being turned into multiple templates for headstocks and boards for completing the electrics on!!

Gavin where did you get the Gibson sticker on the headstock, is that just a clear stick on label ?

Hi Wokka

Bought some clear transfer paper from a crowd over east, scoured Google for some half decent logo's, printed them on my inkjet and then used an acrylic varnish to seal and waterproof the transfers.

I figure that since these are all for my own collection that Gibson and Co. wont mind since I'm not making money off their coat-tails!!

looks great Gavin, can't recall too many orsome looking green SG's even Angus would be proud of this axe. Best of luck with GOTM, haven't seen any other contenders for March ?

might have to catch up one weekend to see your classy man cave !!

Well my vote (not that it counts for anything) goes to Wokka. That V is shit hot! Well done.

Thanks Pablo, and as Adam said when he first saw the V it looks better in the flesh. It's also a pleasure to play. Hopefully we'll hear from Andy of Wudtone today who the winner is !

That telecaster you built is quite amazing too, well done on that build.

Cheers Wokka

That's a tough call, I think they both rock but I do admit, if someone said " You can have one of these, pick one" I'd pick the SG-1. Good thing we aren't the judges Pablo or there'd be a tie :D

Why thank you sir. Winning guitar of the month isn't as satisfying with no competition, but still an honour. Oh well, next month the second of my tele kits that my mate and I have built will be done and in the running. I'm sure we'll see some more great stuff by then.

did you win GOTM November 2012 Pablo ? Course its still an honour to win of you didn't have much competition that month.
I just had a look at your build photos and very impressed at the amount of work that went into the tele.

T'was a labour of love. That was exactly what I wanted in a tele, and at the time, that was the only way to get it. By memory, I think it was december 2012 GOTM. My memory is not to be trusted though.

[Gavin1393]

I'll break the tie........

...and vote for Phil's, now Adam's Telecaster, thereby creating a hung parliament or something like that...thereby letting the Independant's (Wudtone's Andy) make the decision.

Gavin,
don't think DB is eligible to enter for GOTM, it's a bit unfair a full time luthier who now works for PBG to enter !
So looks like when Andy wakes up in UK he has a tough decision to make!

Only just saw this!

Wokka, anytime mate! Always happy to share the man cave experience and show what I am working on! There is a bucket load at the moment! Glad I finally finished something! 1 out of thirteen aint bad! 8O
Should finish a few more in the next two weeks! Around 3 acoustics and 2 electrics. So there's always next month for me!

Good luck with GOTM, I hope that $50 I sent to Andy gets to him in time....... :D
