Thanks andy and Wayne. I did indeed have some pleasurable times building it.
Good luck to the other 7 excellent entries (yes even you Dedman).

cheers, Mark.

The only reason i can see not to enter GOTM is the danger that you might win and then have to judge next month!
So many beautiful guitars being shown on these pages, makes me wish i got into it years ago.

Well, one of our usual judges has an entry in this month so that burden falls on fewer shoulders. There will be some very close scores when it comes to final tallying. Well done to all entrants.

Sliding in sideways to scrape in......
Vex : verb: vex; 3rd person present: vexes; past tense: vexed; past participle: vexed; gerund or present participle: vexing
:.make (someone) feel annoyed, frustrated, or worried, especially with trivial matters."the memory of the conversation still vexed him"

I was vexed when these showed up in store because I had long wanted a Vox Teardrop guitar however these had quite a few differences especially the fact that it was heart shaped rather than tear drop shaped. There had to be a workaround that didn't involve pulling the binding off and reshaping. The the holy goth mother ( Siouxsie Sioux) presented me with an idea! Hide the dip with a Bigsby!, and so it was done.
Specs:
Grover Mini tuners, tru-oil on the neck and head stock.
Tone Rider Rebel 90 humbucker sized P90's in chrome rings.
Goto roller bridge.
tail peice holes filled with dowel and a Licensed Bigsby B30 installed.
Paint is auto acrylic custom mixed to match a Bic lighter
Pots are a mix of full size and mini CTS as after liberating the loom from a LP where the pickups had resided I found the full size pots didn't fit in the lower positions as there were too close to the edge.
the words 'Sin in my heart" are the title of the only song I know of that Siouxsie played on. And kind of fits with the heart shaped rear of the guitar

I was not going to enter into this as there is no chance I'm gonna win it...
Then I realised I couldn't care less, so here's my one and only entry.
Edit: Oh Yeah it's a hard tail STA.
Non pitbull scratch plate and knobs/pickup cover.
Vintage tuners. No-name string ferrule.
