May 2016 Guitar of the Month (for Guitars and Basses finished in April 2016)

love the jazz ash bass GenX Dave, very nice build

also love the XXXXplorer Waz, another stunning build

looks like the judges have another tough month ahead !

This is my entry for the May comp.
Well after many months of work I finally got the LP1 finished.

This one will be very special to me because back in October 2015 when I first start this build my wife was diagnose with stage 4 lung cancer so I decide to make it a tribute to her because she has always supported me from the time I first met her to the present day with my music.

You will notice her name on the head stock, this is one of those name tags that you buy a girl that you meet/like as a sign of friendship back in my day. My wife still had it so I thought what better place to put it to good use. I'm very happy with this one, plays really great.

Peter H......that is just jaw droppingly stunning. :D

Yes I edited the spelling, although it is also drawer dropping as well, I thought the above spelling was a little more appropriate.:o

nice build Peter, you kept this build quiet, never saw a build diary for it.
Love the colour and some of the touches, is that a sticker in the centre of the headstock or hand painted ? did you paint the white edge on the headstock

your wife must be stoked with the tribute

Beautiful job, Peter. I wish you and your wife the very best.

Thanks Andy.

Top job Peter and echo comments from Andy, Woks & Wonderboy.

Wokkaboy, Yes that is a sticker I got from Japan it was put on before the clear coat and the white edging is painted. I was going to do a build diary but with everything that was going on forgot all about it until I was almost finished. I did post some pictures a while back when I first got the kit.

Wow. I like it. Alot.

I definitely second the best wishes to Peter and his wife. Great looking guitar, too, man!
