April GOTM

[dingobass]

Oh did I have some fun messing with everyone's heads in regards to this months Judge...

Evil Dingobass......

Glenn, your Tele is damn hot and if I was a guitar player ( too many strings for me) I would be on a plane to Melbs to steal it 8-)

Good luck to you all !

Guys, (Glenn and Stui) you have no reason to feel outclassed or lacking in confidence. Your two guitars are sensational and worthy of a GOTM first place. Plus we will have another excellent contender with Wokka going for three in a row with his ES-1.
It's going to be competitive right up to the wire with ALL of us being able to say that we built guitars that Perry Ormsby has commented on! How %$#& awesome is that????!!!!
Even bigger bragging rights for the winner!

[keloooe]

I thought something was up with Perry creating an account... Adam, when you described his guitar list, it is a lot longer!!! He told us all that he is taking too many custom orders for this year, he should tell you better!!!

All the best to the contenders, it is going to be pretty close!!

[Ormsby Guitars]

All right fellas!

Let's get this show on the road huh?

All the guitars are great. Be very proud of your efforts, and remember, guitar building is a fun way to get away from the TV and life's stresses. I envy you guys because I don't get to build guitars for myself any more, I have to build them to suit the market. However, that's all going to change soon enough

Entrant 1: LP-1S by Gavin Bramley


I like this one, the colour reminds my of a '59 I played in LA in 2006 It was beautiful! The tone!
I want you to swap the pickup around the other way, at the bridge position. It's in the housing correctly, so flip the whole thing around. Thanks! :P
Unfortunately, I have to knock off points for the logo! Be proud, put YOUR name on there! Tell the world YOU made it.


Entrant 2: TL-1TB by Gavin Bramley


Gavin, once again, awesome. The brown is not a colour most people would choose, but you nailed it. The back being darker is a perfect choice. The Bigsby is the icing on the cake. BUT BUT BUT, logo! I want to see YOUR name on there!


Entrant 3: ES-1G by Gavin Bramley


The colour! Oh man, this is so close to my "go to blue" stain I use on my customs. The little piece of artwork on the headstock is a nice touch, and the brass nut shows me you put in the hard yards (they are a pain to do!) but once again, lost points for the logo


Entrant 4: Glenn’s TL-1


Stunning. I loved that you had some issues, Adam stepped up and rectified them immediately, you had more issues, and you just simply got on with it and didn't let the setbacks get to you. It's those moments that make the finished product just that much more special.


Entrant 5: Stu’s SG-1


Great effort! Pretty good job on the sunbursting, doing that with a stain/oil finish is hard. I love that you used your name on the headstock, shows pride! Build another one!


Entrant 6: Wokka’s ES-1G


Oh no, the pickups are around the wrong way! I like this colour though, like a few old ES335's Ive worked on over the years with a faded finish Overall, a guitar you should be proud of!


Ok, so now I have to pick one...

Adam said only one!

I say you are all winners, because you've stepped up, and done something 99% of guitarists talk about how they are "gunna do it" one day.

But he said only one...

So, I give that honour to:

Entrant 4: Glenn’s TL-1


Congrats!! Now, stop dancing around and build another one. :P

[dingobass]

Bravo Glenn!

Thanks so much Perry for your positive remarks and critique of these guitars.

It has been a real joy to Adam, Phil and I watching these guys build their dream Guitars.

Glenn, you really did nail it with this exquisite Tele.

[Gavin1393]

Well done Glenn!

[Gavin1393]

Thanks for your time and comments Perry. Much appreciated!

[stui]

Congrats Glenn, and thanks for the comments Perry

[WeirdBits]

Congrats Glenn, a beautiful guitar and worthy winner.

[keloooe]

Congrats to Glenn!!! Perry had some very nice points he made about everyone's builds, keep up the work, and good luck for May!!!
