superb tele Wokka!!
Nice finish on that tele.
Really great to see so many charitable builds going to other people this month!
I wouldn't want to be the one who has to pick.
Tim that bass is just sweet!
Being a Tele man I just love Wokka's Tele.
That is great color Andrew!
Tony that green and black is in your face in a great way!
Love that inlay AR! And Jags rock.
Wayne I just dig that purple. When I get my Rick kit I wanna do it in purple.
You guys are slowly making me a fan of the colored natural wood look.
The scores are in!
Thanks to the Judges for their scores and comments.
Here are all the comments from the judges, in submission order:
Tim's Hellboy JB-4
"The attention to detail is astounding, that has to be some of the best inlay work i have ever seen. Well done that man!"
"Lovely stone inlays really bring this to life. I think the body could have been better and that would have made this a real work of art."
"Wow great detail (not really a fan of the colour but that’s not relevant) looks fantastic. Obviously a huge amount of time and effort has gone into this build."
"Hell Yes! - fantastic job… Extra points for trying something new. Love the work on the inlay and the overall simplicity of the colours! Would be drawn to this to at least look at it. Hopefully it’ll be a beast to play."
"Such an impressive build on so many levels; original, striking, dynamic."
Andrew Osborne's ST-1
"Beautifully done, such a nice job on the finish. Extra mark for your Daughter playing Hendrix :)"
"Very good nicely finished."
"Beautifully done – azure not my favourite colour – but has really worked for this ST!"
"A well executed, classic finish, would be a welcome addition to any collection."
VH2580's STA-1 "The only thing i could find is a slight blemish, (possibly a glue mark)? Near the output. Otherwise very nice indeed."
"Very vibrant and well put together. Could it be two in a row! while I have promised myself no more greens or blues in my own collection this green has made me think again."
"Nicely finished it must have taken many hours to get that glossy finish."
"Fantastic colour choice – clean and nicely done. Minus ˝ point as no logo – this is a more than nice guitar – be proud and put your name on it!"
"Very well executed gloss finish, cannot fault this build."
ARusso's JM-1
"First build? Wow...."
"Great first effort."
"Nice, I like plain white guitars for some reason."
"Great choice of colours and outcome – missing a logo, but apart from that a very credible first guitar!"
"Classic look for a Jazzmaster/Mustang, Kurt would have loved this one."
"This is one of the best finishes I have seen you pull off Popeye. But what makes this guitar really stand out is the intent behind it and the passion with which it was built."
Waynes ST-1
"Awesome story behind this guitar. The guitar will be a prised possession for sure. Quality of Wayne's builds is improved in leaps and bounds."
"Fantastic colour great sentiment."
"Overall nice attention to detail – not sure that I’d be making a beeline to with the headstock veneer / black back. that said, it looks like it would be special for Karlee and that’s all that matters!"
"One of the best ST-1 builds I've seen. Well done Uncle Wayne!"
Wokka's TLA-1
"They just keep getting better Woks."
"Awesome Tele. Minused a point for the unbelievable story that he was able to escape the telenapper with the guitar. Clearly never went near the telenappers because NO-ONE escapes the Telenapper."
"Great work I think this is the best yet from Wokka."
"Another nice Wokka Tele! What more can I say!"
"Definitely Wokka's best build to date."
And so, the Runner Up for Pit Bull Guitars January 2015 Guitar of the Month goes to:
Attachment 1151
VH2580 (Tony) and his STA-1 in Colourtone Green.
So close to taking out two GOTM comps in a row.
And the winner is...

Yes, we have another tie. The judges couldn't split Tim's awesome Hellboy JB-4 and Wokka's stunning TLA-1.
Congratulations Tim and Wokka!
Congrats Tim and Wokka, two awesome builds that I'd be very happy to have on my wall. Well done to all the entrants, a top month once again, and thanks to the judges.
Gee what a surprise, I thought Tim's hellboy had it in the bag, I'm stoked with a tied win.
Congrats Tim on the tied win and Tony for runner up.
Big well done to the judges turning around the results quicky. I'll be happy to judge February GOTM with Gav T's awesome ash LP!
Congrats to all the entries in this month's GOTM ... you've all raised the bar yet it yet again with every entry a real "pearler"
... but especially well done to Tim, Wokks and Tony ... talk about a close run thing ... bloody beauties each of them! (sure glad I didn't have to call it this month)
Wokkaboy, Tim and Tony - congratulations all exceptional builds! It's getting very hard for the judges with all the entrants builds compounding in quality each month. Looking forward to another sensational month.
Wokks , Tim and Tony . What can I say but stunning axes and all the other entrants it must have been close.
Congrats Wokka and Tim , both Stunners, and the quality of the other builds was impressive.
thanks for all the nice comments.
What I'd like to know Ads is who made the comment on my build that they took off a point for the unbelievable story of escaping your place with the tele and whether they actually did subtract a point !
Congratulations guys.
I think that was Gav, Wokka. No, he didn't really subtract a point.

Again there was only a couple of point between first and fifth. One of the closest comps yet.

Sweet guitars all round. Congrats to all participants and those that scored a place on the winners podium. I raise my hat to those that donate their time and effort to help us all and even more to those that help out in gifting their guitars.
Agree with the comments that the quality of builds is increasing to very high standards. Makes it harder for us amateurs to score a place. Look out February GOTM, I have a feeling there might be a few LP's in the running ;)
Big congrats to the podium winners - Tim, Wokka and Tony - and to all the other entries this month congrats to you too. It was a very tough call all-round IMO and everyone did a sterling job on their particular model. Well done all!
cheers,
Gav.
Congrats guys, another beauty month of entrants and a well deserved shared 1st place!
Cheers Ads, I didn't think they would have really subtracted a point. I guessed it would have been Gavmeister or DB that made that commentQuote:

Great work guys
I guess with two guest judges, I get a month off hey Ads! Standard is getting high enough that little things are meaning the difference between 1 & 5.
Well done all entrants but a special WD to Warren, Tim and Tony. I can certainly believe that only a few points separated 1st to last.
Well done all

Congratulations Wokka, Tim & Tony! Can't wait for next month's entries, ridiculously good quality from everyone
That is awesome Wayne!!
love the message on the neck plate and that is an amazing colour.
no worries Gaz, Wayne did do a good job and Karlee is still playing the axe and loves it to bits !
