Hi all forumites,
we're almost halfway through May and no entries for June GOTM ?
could be a good month to enter Pest !
Everyone knows the rules !
surely you are exempt from this one Wokka, too many wins
haha Stan I won't be entering June as I'll be a judge, thats if there is anything to judge.
I'll have a few entries to choose from for July though, I'm still chasing Andyports total !
First time entry!
So the design brief for this one was for a stripped back, made for rock guitar with a touch of class.... I'm pretty confident that I succeeded.
This is a SG-1F kit, all stock electrics and aftermarket hardware (all black for aesthetic purposes)
I don't use tone knobs so I got rid of them, 2 volumes and a 3 way switch, no mucking around! I moved the input jack to the side like a Tele just to clean the look up a bit as well.
I died the fretboard black and shot the body and neck in flat black along with a little gloss white highlight around the headstock.

wow Mick this axe blows me away, I love it and the mods you have done. Look forward to a sound demo.
And a few hours ago I was worried it's almost the midpoint of May with no entries !
Yeah, Mick. This has come together beautifully. I'm with Woks. Keen to hear a sound clip.
nice, well up to now you have won lol...
Geez... Thats just a bit sexy, Mick!
Some really clever mods there Mick, I'd have this little gem in my collection any day of the week.
I guess the bars set pretty high then.
Shee-yit!
That is one really nasty, sleek & sexy SG in all respects.
I just love the simplifications you've done to declutter things. The custom headstock is also perfect IMO. Recessed jack is just the berries too.
Been toying with doing one of these kits - now I'm getting more determined!
top work Mick, love the input jack mod
As the others have said, awesome work Mick. I've always had a bit of a softspot for black SGs.
Outstanding! Very sleek.
Wow, that is nice Mick.
A Stealth SG! Even the exhaust has been hidden. Looks like June GOTM is going to be another tough one to win.

Really nice axe Mick! A gothic masterpiece. So simple, so elegant, so effective. Love it.
cheers,
Gav.
Ok Mick enough of the black and white pictures , lets see the real colour of the guitar .....lol :?
Haha yeah, the photos are a bit anti-climatic seeing as it's a black and white guitar....
I think Mick has scared everyone else away, about time us Judges had an easy one to judge on...1 entry!
yer come on Pest, still waiting to see your ST entered !
Just hang in there!
Wokka's right, Pest. I'm hanging out to see it in the comp too!
Hey dudes and dudettes,
Here is my offering for the June GOTM. Will post the pictures in a separate comment (For some reason it isnt letting me post them in this comment).
Stock standard TL-1 build with the only change being to the scratch plate as you can see. Pretty happy with this as its my first build. Along the way I learnt how to solder completely from scratch and do a decent setup.
The parts which came with the build are of quite a high quality and the neck profile is absolutely spot on to what a great telecaster should have!
If you're interested to see how it sounds, check out some sound clips I posted on the other thread :)

looks great Danger, colours look excellent. Got to be happy with this for a first build.
Maybe next build (there will be one) spend more time shaping the headstock to get some smoother lines.
Yeah my sentiments exactly in regards to the headstock, it just looks a tad unfinished, luckily it's over shadowed by that amazing blue with the beautiful grain offset with the pickguard and the chrome accents, I fricken love it!!Quote:

great first effort DM, makes me want to surf!
Looks great DM!! It really has a sea kinda feeling to it. Beautiful grain on the body.
Love the colour DM and it'd be great for surf toons too. A very nice first build.
Excellent! You really nailed the finish there Danger.
If this is what you can acheive with your first build, well, the mind boggles as to what you will come up with next time... :)
Awesome work Danger. That body colour is something else! A beautiful tele..
cheers,
Gav.
Hey guys,
Thanks all for your kind words!
Whilst it is true that more time could have been put into shaping the headstock, I kinda enjoy the unfinished look of it. Looks aside however, the guitar plays very well and to me thats the most important thing :)
Cheers guys!
TheDangerMan
Well done Damger, great first build. Love the colour.
well done Danger, good attitude that how it plays is most important. Glad it plays well and your happy with it. Whats your next kit going to be?
Awesome build Danger, can't wait to see the next one!
Wokkaboy - Thanks dude :) I get what you mean about the headstock though, maybe ill sort that out in the not too distant future :)
Well, it's not technically a FULL pitbull guitars kit.. But... I bought a paisley tele body the other week which im going to put a pitbull neck on and turn into another Tele! So once the new shipment of necks come in, im going to be right on that :)
sounds cool DM the paisley tele, so the tele body you bought is already painted ? You are turning into a real tele freak, not as bad as Ads though ! haha :)
