Hi, Wayne from 4D, here's my entry for January GOTM. This was a xmas present built for a family friend's daughter who has been bullied at school, just got it finished in time.
Its an ST-1 kit finished in pearl purple and black back/sides. Headstock veneer is camphor. Neck is a very thinned down yellow stain.
Here are front, front close and headstock pics
here is the back photo, top photo and a close up of the engraved neck plate. We saw a video of Karlee playing it on xmas day and the smile and joy it brought to her was priceless.
So much more than just a build, commendable effort man!Originally Posted by 4D Guitars
Wayne, great axe and personalised neck plate, will give Karlee great strength and comfort to help her deal with the bullying and knowing that others care.

Nice one Wayne.
I don't care if it wins GOTM or not, you made a Karlee very happy, so that makes it a winner in my books.
Karlee is very lucky to have someone like you on her side.
God Bless you mate.

Love the colour on this Wayne and the thought behind it.

nice work ARusso
Great Strat and sentiment Wayne, cool axe!
G'day, here is my entry for January GOTM, its an ash TL kit, done in FW jarrah and Dingotone outback sunset burst. Neck is DT orange as well. Headstock veneer is something new red myrtle, didn't need much staining that is almost the natural colour !
Upgraded to the gold hardware and put Bourns pots in and the 4 way switch. Sounds good on the in series setting.
I also found a new spot to photograph the axe, and what better than mini orb in front of the 4D bar !
These kits come with a white pickguard so had a spare black guard from an alder TL kit so the black suited the dark ash grain better than the white

This is the amazing part I managed to leave PBG HQ with this axe, I know not many of the forum will believe me.
DB saw it first hand at the 4D xmas party a week ago
