May GOTM

[Dedman]

I must admit that I have never seen these before. They give the guitar just that little more to it, really beautiful!

But aren't you afraid of damage to it? They look as if they could break of when you accidentally hit them or bump the guitar to something...

A little yes, defiantly a "home use only" axe, but then all mine are

Geez, just got back from 10 day trip to NZ and blown away by all of this month's entries. Very tough judging coming up this time next week.

Cheers, Waz

Ok, good to hear

You Guys are Cruel.
The judges must be pulling out whatever hair they might have left trying to pick a winner from this lot will be a real headache.....
There will be absolutely no shame in not winning this month.....

So true, I'm having palpitations already....
and there is never shame in not winning - every single builder should be proud of what they have done and learnt every month.
But yeah - very high quality this month

Nice comment Stan.

I have a question to all you guitar builders this month. @sjdavis75 @ThreeBbass, @DJP, @Fuzzbeard, @Gee-Gal, @kawaokie, @Nekogen, @steve from tassie and Dedman....and its this, are you sure none of you are professional Luthiers, because they are so good this month that im starting to doubt that any of you are amateurs! WELL DONE GUYS.

[Gee-Gal]

Definitely not @nitroburner, thanks for the nice comments. Im not the best photographer, I would love to take better photos and swap them.

That was my first build, definitely not a luthier, professional or otherwise. The whole project wandered between so excited and so frustrated and in the end I feel myself considering whether I should do another on, if only to find out whether it gets easier... but really more important to spend more time practicing, to see if I can actually turn myself into a real guitarist.

Hi Steve, in the business world they call it continuing improvement or pursuit of excellence, and yes, each subsequent build generally becomes easier than the first through the new lessons learned along they way. Seriously addictive hobby this guitar building.
