I agree Wokks , Gav this one is truly beautiful and a very classic looking guitar. It sounds great and looks like it belongs on my wall . You must be over the moon with how she turned out. The burst is smack on and as usual your set up looks spot on . I am so glad I'm not competing against this pretty girl.
Awesome finish and colour.
Tha is stunningly beautiful, great finish and so shiny
Thanks for the kind words guys :).
cheers,
Gav.
Gav, that is schmick mate.
Simon, great Tele, surftastic !
Wokka, another great creation, very nice without pickguard
Gav, you get awesome results from forbidden products! Cool bass, nice work
Wow, these are some slick looking guitars!
Love the look of that Tele Wokka!
Whatever is going on with the grain in the left-most plank in the body looks awesome.........Quote:

Cheers fellas. It's the first alder kit I've built and as you know it's a lottery what grain you get when you open the box. Very happy with the kit and now a tele fan
@ Wokka
That Tele really glows Wokka...good stuff!
@ Gav Turner
Superb work Gav, that bass is factory quality.
Maybe this will be the one to take it out, hey!
thanks Andy, for a minute when I saw your post I thought you entered an axe last day of the month !
Yes I agree if no one else has any late entries Gav T should take out GOTM for July
Agree with Woks, you just keep getting better Gav! Note to Adam, there guitar of the month entries need to be shipped over to WA so that we can at least get a play on them....
lol Wokka!! No...no entries from me for a while.
Currently building a Strat and about to start an Explorer for other people.
Will get these out of the way first, then I will decide what to build next for myself.
All the best to this months contenders!
@Gav - thanks, I'm getting there - very, very slowly. One of these days!
@Wokka, @Andy - AFAIC it's still anyone's race. We've got Pablo & Wokka - two previous winners in the line-up (gulp) - and then there's Simon's sweet tele! All the builds this month are total class!
Guys, there's still a few hours to go! Get those entries in!
cheers,
Gav.
Chin up, buddy. I think you've got this one in the bag. You're going to ruin my perfect streak, but utterly deservedly. That bass is a masterpiece.
Yes agreed Pabs.
Gav T, you must be glad there were no late entries, only 4 entries this month, better chill the champagne Gav !
FYI Gav the string ends actually insert into the centre of the tuners on most bass tuners
We'll see guys. May the best build win! @Wokka - thanks for the tip. A total bass-noob mistake. There's a few points off right from the get go!! :P.
cheers,
Gav.
And the Winner is...
Big thanks to our Esteemed Judging Panel, including special guest judge Bargeloobs (I only just picked this as a Spoonerism... yes, I'm a bit slow).
This month, as we only received 4 entries, we are just announcing the winner.
So, without further ado..
Congratulations Gavin Turner, your stunning ESB-4 was the judges clear favourite.
"Gavin, really nice job. You are really starting to get a handle on the sunburst."
"Sublime bass, loads of attention to detail and nicely done."
"Oh my! Just cut the nonsense, stop the press and put this on the frontpage! What a stunning example of what is possible. Welcome to the winners podium Gav! Nothing will beat this this month! Awesome colour choice and the gloss is just top-notch! Anyone who is a fan of bass guitars and the archtop would love this in their collection. Wow factor in spades and then some."
"What can you say about this bass, jaw droppingly beautiful. That burst...wow, the attention to detail on the finish WOW!!! I want it!"
Well done Gavin.

Come on Adz everyone loves "bargeloobs" :P
Awesome one Gav, simply epic mate!!
And to Pabs,Wokks,Simpleone...Freakin' beautiful, all of them... you blokes should all be extremely proud!
And you're a Spinal Tap fan, we should be friends.
I can't believe that had to be pointed out to me! :D
Congratulations Gav! The bridesmaid no longer...
Congrats Gav, well deserved.
Thanks guys. The race was anyone's IMO, but I'm very happy to take the win :) . I have finally made the winner's circle! I'm very interested to see who shares the podium!!
cheers,
Gav.
excellent work everyone - and well done Gav, a very deserving win
Congrats Gav. I knew your bass would win. Welcome to the winners circle. Sounds like it was a clear winner. Lucky you live far enough away from DB would love to aquire this beast!
Well Done Gav
Well done, Gav...Welcome to the "inner sanctum".
Another win or two, and Wokka and I will have to teach you the secret handshake. :D
Love the attention to detail you put into this build...superb effort.
Cheers
Andy
Well done all entrants, but a special well done to Gav.
Awesome bass Gav. A deserving winner.
rob
It finally happened Gav :P grats mate
hi all,
Thanks to one and all for the kind words. Finally winning GOTM means a lot to me (far more than it ever should 8-) ) and I'm grateful for all the support and encouragement I've received from my good friends here in the PBG community over the 5 builds it has taken me to finally snag it.
cheers guys!
Gav.
Congrats Gav! Well deserved!
Great job Gav. tough choice this time round! I reckon if pablos had more of a classic look it would have been an even harder choice because quality of build wise I think there was nothing in it, both 10s. Same goes for the other entrants too!
