Is this open to re-builds also? My Carsen re-build will be unrecognizable once it's finished!

Hi mate, Adam's intro unfortunately mentions Any Guitar or Bass built from scratch or from a kit you purchased from another company is eligible, as long as you built it.
I would still vote for it.

Hi Zandit,

I’ve added restorations, refurbs and refinished guitars to this GOTY Comp.

Thanks Stan for the input.

I’ve decided not to put a long list of conditions on entry… I think the judges will be able to recognise when someone has replaced a bit of hardware/pickups and when they have completely rebuilt and refinished a guitar or bass. So it will be self-regulating and judged appropriately.

I guess we'll need some sort of prize if we get a few entries.

What about having a couple of different categories?

Suggestions for categories:
- Complete non-PB kit builds
- Complete scratch builds
- restoration/refurb
- refinish
