Honestly thought Gav was going to win.
Jolly good show lads!

Another top quality month. Are we going to see a guitar of the year comp this year?

Oh WOW!!!! I am really really honoured to win against all this months talent, my heart was in my throat as I scrolled down the places but, seeing mine in first brought a wee tear to my eye. Thank you judges and thanks for all the gorgeous competition, it means so much more to be chosen from the best.
Why not PP. But then we should probably do one for 2013 and include the few winners from 2012, like this magnificent specimen:/<\\/p>[/<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/]<\\/p>/Quote from pablopepper on April 5, 2014, 20:17

Out very first GOTM Winner, from August 2012, built by yours truly and Bones.
I believe it currently resides in pieces in DB's "Parts Box". The paint job was cool, but otherwise, it was an absolute shocker.
Cheers,

Well done to all entrants, what a terrific lineup.
Congrats to the winner, Johnny that Ricci is really superb.
Honourable mention to both Gavin and Scott, guitars that any other month could easily have taken it out.
Well done all.
Wow. Thanks DB. That means quite a lot to me. I accept your praise with gratitude./<\\/p>[]<\\/p>/Quote from dingobass on April 5, 2014, 18:10
Well done Johnny... cant go past a Ricci!
To all the other guys, your builds were exceptional, my personal favourite was Lawry's Fretless Bass...
Take a bow Lawry, you get DB's best Bass in show award!![]()
It's a fantastic bass to gig with and it wouldn't be what it is without the help of mostly yourself, both Gavs and Wokka.
Still... I want that Ric!
Just sensational. For someone still to finish it is a bit daunting but at the same time inspiring. May's GOTM has a high standard to uphold. Well done to all the entrants.

congratulations Johnny, Gav and Scott, another amazing month of entrants but you guys deserved your awards.
Also big thanks to the judges for another tough month. I think if they had to judge a guitar of the year they may need councilling ! haha
As I always say the standard just keeps getting better.
Love the Jazzmaster GOTM August 2012 ! First time I've seen it.
Would it be possible Adam to have a GOTM thread with a photo of all the past winners and a brief description ?

Well done Johnny, Gav, Scott and all the other entrants. I think the judges got it right but it could have been in any order and still have been the correct decision.
Well, there goes that bar, up another notch.
