Amazing looking guitars there guys. The quality of builds in this community is outstanding.

@Wokka, @Wayne, amazing job guys. Another couple of brilliant entries. Your choices of finish perfectly bring out the beauty in these awesome maple caps. I know it is said every month, but this month is going to be impossible to judge. So glad I'm overseas and unable to enter. So, so glad.
Cheers,
Gav.

@ Wayne and Wokka
Two more beautiful entries from 4D, guys. Both of you have produced really classy guitars.
I love the back shot of the Bass Wokka, just gorgeous, and Wayne that LP is sooooooo classy.
Really like what you guys do with your natural timber looks. Great stuff.
@Gavinturner. I reckon the entrants this month are also glad you're overseas, Gav. The competition is fierce enough without one of yours being in the fight too ;-)
How's the beer drinking going? You full yet?
Nice job Wayne and Wokka! This GOTM will be very interesting...
terrific work to all this month

Apologies folks, I've been caught up in 50th Birthday celebrations and only just got a spare moment to organise judging for March GOTM. I'll contact the judges shortly and ask them to expedite their scores and comments so we can meet the usual deadline of 7 days into the new month.
