Quite an exceptional result nitro...despite all the pitfalls along the way.
Thanks for the tip about chrome nail polish. That's the sort of lateral thinking I like about this lark.
Of course kudos to the other two entries... semi-acoustic 5 string bass and the sunburst Ric. Standards well above my paltry effort.

cheers, Mark.

Thanks and no problems Mark.

Man, that's very special!
Glad I won't have an entry demonstrating my inadequacies this month :-)

Hey dont ever put yourself down, we are all individuals and no one in the world will make a guitar just like yours, so it will be truly unique, and believe me mate its the inadequacies, faults, problems, stupid stuffups that will make you better every time. Im following your post and your guitar is very cool.

Edit.. and BTW i would NEVER have the courage to do a resonator.

Here's a TBJ-5 Fenderbird that was finished and assembled by Tim Reede at Tim Reede Guitars in Minneapolis.

The jazz pickups were custom wound by Ted Vig at Vig Guitar Shop in St. Paul.

Thanks everyone.

WOW...this month's contest may actually see a judge physically rip themselves in half as a manifestation of their internal struggle to decide between entries.
Best have paramedics and counsellors on standby.

you wish Frankie, you just want spares for Igor!

Ha ha!

Seriously though Nitro has my vote. That is one of the best I've seen on here in my time.

That chrome logo is the icing on a pretty incredible cake.
