Good to see this axe complete Wokka. The cap is just beautiful - the colour choice w/black pups complement perfectly, well done.
Wokka, another superb axe dude. That colour suits the cap beautifully, and I love the neck colour. This is yet another entry that will be very hard to beat (damn you!) :) .
cheers,
Gav.
Six points off for using feaces watson AND poo oil...
Or would you prefer another 12 months tacked onto your two life sentances in the naughty room? :-)
Ok, so there's only 4 entries this month?
They're all very high standard, so it will be tough to judge.
I'm off to Melbourne tomorrow, so we'll announce the winner when I'm back next week.
Thanks for your entries.
Yay! The boss is away..... PARTAY TIME!!! :-))
I hope there weren't any last minute entries.
The judges now have their brief and we will announce a winner when I get back from Melbourne next week.
I'm trusting you to keep the place tidy Dingobass.
Dont worry Ads, I am sure Miss Fiona will keep me under control..
Beautiful Wokka! Just love that black hardware. Really sets the cap off.
thanks for the comments everyone. It was a beautiful kit when I opened the box as you can see the pics.
I can't remember the last time there was only 4 entries !
@ DB, I don't care about any more naughty room sentences, I'm there for life !
@ Ads, do you think DB will keep the place tidy ? good luck !
Have fun in Melbourne and I hope a few PBGites can make it, should be a good night
*shoota paces back and forth.

Sorry for the delay, should have the results up tonight.
And the winner is...
Thanks to our judges this month, including special guest judge, Neverwas. The scores and comments are now in...
In submission order.

1. Andrew's SG-1F
"So much to like about Andrew’s SG. The flamed top and colour is great and his name is justifiably proudly displayed on the headstock. My son would love this guitar since learning a few of Angus’ licks!"
"This is exactly how a SG should look. Beautifully finished, almost understated. You have allowed the timber and the shape do all the talking. If I were a six stringer I would be around to yours to steal this beauty. Well done Andrew!"
"Sublime SG - love the colours and the simplicity of it. Got all the right features in the right places and I can't see a shortcut anywhere. Only change I would make would be the knob end on the switch to black or chrome - the cream one sticks out a bit too much for me..."
"Flaming and colour look great. A black or chrome switch tip would match better and maybe a red cavity cover."
"Really nice colour choice Andrew and well finished. You’ve really captured the flame in the maple and finished up with a really tasty looking SG. You should be pretty happy."

2. Shoota's ST-1
"Great story line behind this guitar and awesome personal touches to make a young lass extremely proud of her guitar and it’s builder (aka Dad). Excellent first build and awesome paintwork although I’ll never look at Hello Kitty the same way again."
"Perfect Guitar for a young Lady! The paint work is top notch and the Hello Kitty skull and crossbones just sets this build off perfectly. Well done on your first build :)"
"Very original design. Love how this one has come out and the personality it evokes. Nicely done and I hope it meets the original spec! If I had to find fault, it would be that the back plate seems a bit awkward - the black stripe through the back highlights how it is not centred on the guitar - that said - it's in the right spot - just the design makes it look ... slightly awkward. That said - minor in an overall very nice guitar :)."
"Hot pink! Shame the black stripe isn't evenly spaced with the cover on the back and peeks out from the pickguard on the front, would still be enough room for the graphic if it was a bit narrower. Truss rod hole touched up with black just to tidy up. Don't think Amanda will mind, lucky girl."
"I really dig this one. The colour looks great and the graphics are cool, I’m sure Amanda must’ve been pretty stoked. Well done Dad!"

3. Gav's JR-1DC
"Gav’s love affair with the juniors continues and keep getting better. So simple yet professional in every sense."
"Gav, this is another quality build. Your finishes are getting better every time and I look forwards to seeing your next build.
Really nice touch with the red pearloid bits :)"
"Gavin - you're growing as a builder each build! Love the personal touches of the bent pickguard, control cover. Overall stunning build."
"Great colour and satin finish, sleek, very well done. Maybe black hardware to match pickup and knobs?"
"Nice work Gav, you’re becoming synonymous with tasty Juniors, which is not a bad thing at all. This is another excellent build."

4. Wokka's LP-1SS
"Wokka, once again a superb guitar and in Dingotone to boot."
"Wokka, you really are hitting your straps now. Every new build shows a vast improvement. Keep up the good work. One point off for using faeces watson and poo oil though :)"
"Wokks - agreed that it's a bit dark. Downside is that it started with spot on spalting and while I dig the colour, from the photos, I think it washes out the spalting. All things considered though - superbly finished (again) and the black bling is a great finish for the guitar. Even with the red - how could you cover that spalt with a rhythm / treble cover!!!"
"Love that cap and colour, grabs you right away. Nothing more to say."
"Nice work Wokka, I really can’t find too many faults in this one. Also good to see you’ve toned down your wild headstock designs. The only reason I'm not scoring you higher is that we're not seeing any originality. You scored a really nice veneer and chose a great colour... it just needs some Wokka/4D touches to make it yours."
This month the judges have voted Shoota's ST-1 as the Guitar of the Month.
Congratulations Shoota!
Congrats Shoota, had a good feeling you would win!
All the builds were great this month, good luck to all entering for April GOTM, the bar is even higher now!
Woo hoo. Thanks guys. I'm very proud of it. And Amanda loves it which is the most important thing. I agree with the comments on the back plate. I have a black one that I wanted to use but it's old and damaged. As for the spacing I tried to get it aligned on the front as best I can. It's been a learning experience that's for sure.
Congratulations Shoota. To win a GOTM on your first build is a credit. Well done Gav and Andrew were both great builds. Well done to the judges as well
Shoota: A well deserved win with a very cool guitar for your daughter, you should both be very happy.
Andrew, A tough SG with a classic look.
Gav another awesome Jr, if you made a bunch, you'd sell them all
and Wokka: That LP is so cool, I actually like the dark red, nice job.
more greatness from you guys, some very nice axes here and all well made, good job guys
Congrats to all. 4 superb entries and it could have gone to anyone this month.
Shoota, congrats on your win. Awesome guitar build for your daughter and may inspire others to build one for the kids! Loved the design on this especially the graphics. Other entrants - also well done for another set of superb builds.

Congratulations guys, all of you ... great builds each and every one ... I'm sure glad I didn't have to judge this one! ... there might have only been four entries this month but the individual and collective quality of them more than makes up for the quantity.
Congrats Shoota - a well deserved win! Andrew and Wokka - your builds were amazing. Another fantastic month of GOTM entries.
cheers,
Gav.
Congratulations Shoota!
Congrats Shoota great build and deserving Winner. the standard is fantastic.
