May 2016 Guitar of the Month (for Guitars and Basses finished in April 2016)

Dedman, a sumptuous white and black Tele AND a Triumph (Thruxton?)... clearly you are trying to sway this Judge. I may have to abstain from judging this month as you have clearly already won at life.

Actually, confession time, it's been over a year since I've judged a GOTM.

Very nice effort mate, the Tele looks sensational and the bike even better.

Is the Ashtray a Wilkinson? I looked everywhere for those for our TL-51 kit and could not find anything that was reasonable priced. If you could please send me a link for that ashtray, I'll check it out for including with our kit.

Thx guys for the comments.....and good luck to all the participants this month.....

Adam,

do you do a gold Back plate for the neck?

[wokkaboy]

excellent entries again this month, I'm still getting over judging 12 entries last month !

Bluesmartyboy don't think the gold neck plate is sold separately, comes in a ST-1 and TL gold hardware upgrade and on FV-1 kits.
I suggest you have a look on ebay or the Realparts online store

here it is

don't forget you will need to order the 4 gold screws as well

That is a wicked black there GenX Dave. And I'm quite fond of Waz's stripped back EX.

Lots of entries this month and still 5 days to go.

[wokkaboy]

love the jazz ash bass GenX Dave, very nice build

also love the XXXXplorer Waz, another stunning build

looks like the judges have another tough month ahead !

This is my entry for the May comp.
Well after many months of work I finally got the LP1 finished.

This one will be very special to me because back in October 2015 when I first start this build my wife was diagnose with stage 4 lung cancer so I decide to make it a tribute to her because she has always supported me from the time I first met her to the present day with my music.

You will notice her name on the head stock, this is one of those name tags that you buy a girl that you meet/like as a sign of friendship back in my day. My wife still had it so I thought what better place to put it to good use. I'm very happy with this one, plays really great.

[DMorrison]

Beautiful job, Peter. I wish you and your wife the very best.

[PapaKen]

I definitely second the best wishes to Peter and his wife. Great looking guitar, too, man!
