    Thanks everyone for the nice comments. I'm pretty pleased with how it's come out. @Scott - Thanks for the sentiment, but I actually have to actually win one (GOTM) first!! Andy on the other hand...

    cheers,
    Gav.

    WTF??? ... you haven't won one yet!!! ... with all those absolutely beautiful builds you've been turning out??? (hell, there'll be rioting in the streets when word of this gets out! )


    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    Alrighty then..... Lawry and Gav, i am desperatly trying to come up with a reason to banish you both to the naughty room...(instant disqualification from entering GOTM).... But nope, i got nuthin!
    This leaves me with only one option, to book a holiday on a desert island with no internet connection so i dont lose sleep trying to judge this months competition!

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    DB, no internet would do you good, you could have a taste of what it's like in the naughty room with no wifi !
    Remember I told you a good method, put a picture of each entry on a dart board and a blind throw, closest to the dart wins !
    Current Builds and status
    scratch end grain pine tele - first clear coat on !
    JBA-4 - assembled - final tweaks
    Telemonster double scale tele - finish tobacco burst on body and sand neck

    Completed builds
    scratch oak.rose gum Jazzmaster - assembled needs setup
    MK-2 Mosrite - assembled - play in
    Ash tele with Baritone neck - neck pup wiring tweaks and play in

    Correspondence written on the back of a $100 bill will always be considered.....

    Although I've been seriously considering hanging off until next month after seeing both GavinT's and Lawry's entries (both immediate winners in my books!), knowing the quality and proliferation of builds that get crafted by the PBG community, I don't think that there is ANY month when the competition wont be of the highest calibre.

    ... and what's the GOTM without at least one tele entered?

    So here we go ...

    Pretty much a standard TL-1AR kit with "antique white Nitro finish, Wudtone finished neck, oiled fretboard and only a couple of minor mods ...
    - Bone Nut
    - 3-ply scratch-plate (black-white-black)
    - Felt strap-button pads
    - Elixir strings
    - Round "cup" jack-plate





    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
