Wow I thought that all the guitars this month showed incredible talent in the build and finish process. In my honest opinion people if a suggestion of a logo is mentioned it is only a suggestion and points are not removed from myself for that. How ever a big one I have noticed which does affect grading IMO is the setting up of the guitar. Just so you do know things like not setting up the intonation before you enter the competition is a little like entering a car in a competition that wont start. This comment is to encourage people to learn via the video's etc.... on how to make your guitar to it's possible best look and best to play. these kits make a fantastic guitar that you would be happy to take to a gig providing they are set up well and unfortunately we can tell just by looking at the guitar if they aren't. Arzi even as a custom builder I am also always looking to improve my work and I can assure you so do the seriously professional builders.
Rabbitz we don't discuss who has said what so we don't know each others comments but feel rest assured your build was a bloody nice looking guitar that impressed the whole forum. But after reading the suggested comment I think it was supposed to be a compliment to music style rather then how it may have come across.
It was a tough month with some serious competition so when incredible builds are hard to compare to each other we have to start looking very closely and start to nit pick to separate them. The nit picks may seem like minor things to the builder and that is a fair assumption , but hey how else can we separate so many great builds.
