Hey the Axis has my vote!
quick someone send me a kit! LOL
One of the easier months to judge so far. Picking a runner up might be a challenge.
I’m not normally one for entering GOTM, but here we go.
Korean Deluxe ST kit.
Kit stock other than:
-volume pot that required changing out, now Alpha Mini 500k
- aftermarket Gotoh string trees.
The finish is clear gloss Rustoleum on the body, and DT clear on the neck, finished Satin for easy playing and it is SILKY to play.
I have deliberately left the body unfilled to highlight the grain structures and pattern. I wanted the body to remain a tactile element under your hands as you play and handle it. It is a similar story on the head, allowing the finer grain feel to come through on the front and rear.
The pickups are bright and break up well, I angsted with changing them out for a while, but I want to play them in and see how they go.
I’ve called it finished in June though it has been together a while, as the final parts were sourced and fitted this month. (String trees).https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...05ea95e60b.jpg

Thanks to Sonic Mountain for the assistance with headstock graphics, and others for their suggestions and feedback during the build.
One of the reasons this forum is so good is due to the efforts and assistance provided by its members, so thanks to all for participating.
