Cheers Glenn, it's great to also have you back!
And the winner is...
Thanks to our Judges for their efforts in another very tough round.
In third place for June Guitar of the Month...
Trevor's IC-1 "Ice Fan"
"Wow! another awesome build and worthy of a podium finish. Headstock is sensational. Putting the mirror back together must have been quite a task."
"Amazing attention to detail and coming up with a stunning guitar."
"A brilliant tribute to Kiss this axe is a very good replica. Must have been hard work getting all the mirror cut, glued and grouted, I think you would be rock and rolling all night with this cool axe."
There was only 0.1 point separating 1st and 2nd this month.
In second place, our perennial podium placer, Jarrod and his ES-1G he made for Vicki.
"Another well finished build Jarrod and an axe your wife must be proud of. Well worth entering this axe has a classic burst that makes this model stand out in the crowd."
"Impeccable presentation, attention to detail and gloss... Wow!"
"Jarrod's paint work is brilliant as always. The burst is sensational and I haven't seen him in the wiring rehab clinic so he must have the patience of Job or is brilliant at wiring too!"
And, the Pit Bull Gull Guitars June 2014 Guitar of the Month goes to...
Bargeloob's LP-1 "Blacktop"
"I loved this, desired this, from the first time I saw it. Utterly beautiful and will grace the PBG front page for only one month."
"Fantastic work It just looks great.Beautiful finish."
"Very sleek, really well thought out colour scheme and beautifully executed. Extra half point for including the Dog in the pics"
Cheers,
Adam

No huge surprises here, well done Barge. Great work on all the entries this month.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Ooh. I've been waiting for this post. Honestly, I reckon anyone could've won this month, they were all great in their own style. So congrats to Bargie first of all and and strong 'hurrah' to the rest of you.
Jarrod, I know you didn't win this time so if you want to try again with another guitar for Vicki I am happy to take that one off your hands. Sorry Vicki, I just love those jazz guitars!
Well done Bargie, tough win against some outstanding entries.
Trev, that iceman is something special, well executed.
BL, champion effort on a stylish , classic look - this axe will still look good in years to come
Jarrod, you are lucky your good wife entered this for you - a well deserved place
Trevor, the Kiss tribute axe was a stunning effort, very cool

I'm blown away guys....jeez. I would have hated to be be judge on this GOTM, every single one of these builds were amazing and I'd have any of them in my collection in a heartbeat. You all won in my books.
Thanks everyone.
