July Guitar of the Month

[wokkaboy]

thanks Andy, for a minute when I saw your post I thought you entered an axe last day of the month !
Yes I agree if no one else has any late entries Gav T should take out GOTM for July

Agree with Woks, you just keep getting better Gav! Note to Adam, there guitar of the month entries need to be shipped over to WA so that we can at least get a play on them....

lol Wokka!! No...no entries from me for a while.
Currently building a Strat and about to start an Explorer for other people.
Will get these out of the way first, then I will decide what to build next for myself.

All the best to this months contenders!

@Gav - thanks, I'm getting there - very, very slowly. One of these days!
@Wokka, @Andy - AFAIC it's still anyone's race. We've got Pablo & Wokka - two previous winners in the line-up (gulp) - and then there's Simon's sweet tele! All the builds this month are total class!

Guys, there's still a few hours to go! Get those entries in!

cheers,
Gav.

Chin up, buddy. I think you've got this one in the bag. You're going to ruin my perfect streak, but utterly deservedly. That bass is a masterpiece.

[wokkaboy]

Yes agreed Pabs.
Gav T, you must be glad there were no late entries, only 4 entries this month, better chill the champagne Gav !
FYI Gav the string ends actually insert into the centre of the tuners on most bass tuners

We'll see guys. May the best build win! @Wokka - thanks for the tip. A total bass-noob mistake. There's a few points off right from the get go!! :P.

cheers,
Gav.

And the Winner is...

Big thanks to our Esteemed Judging Panel, including special guest judge Bargeloobs (I only just picked this as a Spoonerism... yes, I'm a bit slow).

This month, as we only received 4 entries, we are just announcing the winner.

So, without further ado..

Congratulations Gavin Turner, your stunning ESB-4 was the judges clear favourite.

"Gavin, really nice job. You are really starting to get a handle on the sunburst."

"Sublime bass, loads of attention to detail and nicely done."

"Oh my! Just cut the nonsense, stop the press and put this on the frontpage! What a stunning example of what is possible. Welcome to the winners podium Gav! Nothing will beat this this month! Awesome colour choice and the gloss is just top-notch! Anyone who is a fan of bass guitars and the archtop would love this in their collection. Wow factor in spades and then some."

"What can you say about this bass, jaw droppingly beautiful. That burst...wow, the attention to detail on the finish WOW!!! I want it!"

Well done Gavin.
