Woohoo! Congrats Glenn!
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Congratulations Glenn.
I'll fix up the Home page and Facebook announcements tonight.
Cheers,

Oh wow!
You should see the grin splitting my face right now!
I am really humbled, not just for the Yellow Peril to have inched ahead of those other fantastic guitars, not just because Perry was so thoughtful and encouraging with his remarks; but also because this was never meant to be a "best" anything. It was always intended to be the one I could afford to bugger up. The fact that it looks a million dollars and is sounding so gorgeous is only partly due to my efforts. Every forum member who dropped a comment or steered me in the right direction can take some credit here.
Thanks Adam, for giving weekend chippies like me a way to explore guitar-making affordably. Thanks DB, Gav, Pablo, Stui and all you other guys building mind-blowing guitars, for the inspiration and advice. And thanks Perry, for the unenviable job of judging a musical instrument on looks and not sound!
I'm a very, very happy guy!
Now Glenn, you did read the fine print when entering this competition... all Winning guitars are to be sent to Pit Bull Guitars HQ to be hung on the Wall of Honour. You've got the address...
Cheers,
Adam

Adam, let me know if you'd like a photo from a particular angle - I have a few other angles as-yet unpublished, and can do requests pretty quickly!Quote from adam on April 3, 2013, 07:29

Winning LP's are mine, winning basses are DB's, and winning Tele's are yours! Fair deal??? I think so!Quote from adam on April 3, 2013, 07:37

Congratulations Glenn, is this really your first Pit Bull build ? You nailed it well done.
Thanks Perry for judging and comments on each guitar. I take it your comments about the pickups the wrong way around the screws on the humbuckers should be on opposite sides ie closest to the bridge and neck ?
The standard of entries has lifted heaps in the last few months so it means us builders have to lift our standards to win a GOTM in the future
Good luck to all future builds
cheers Wokka

Yep, first guitar build of any kind. I love it when I show people pictures and they won't believe I built it. I don't care if they can't be convinced, it's a compliment whichever way you cut it!Quote from wokkaboy on April 3, 2013, 08:36
