    Thanks for that guys.
    Congrats to everyone else,particularly Andrew and Wokka. There are some beautiful guitars continuously entered every month and to participate and learn as you go is rewarding enough.
    Gonna have to have a beer now.

    GOTM is always a highlight of my month ... to drool over each builders superb entries (and get a little envious) ... and this month was no exception!

    Congratulations to all the builders ... in my book, if you give it a go, you're a winner right from the start and especially with the quality of the entries being submitted! Having said that ...

    Kudos Tony (VH2580) for a much deserved win with a superb ES (if it ever goes "missing" I certainly wont be admitting to being the "purloiner"! ) ... and Andrew & Wokks, with both of your sterling entries it must have been the closest of runs

    ... and of course, hats off to the judges, some great feedback, guys

    Only problem is that its another whole 30 days until the next round!


    Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!

    SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
    TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
    EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
    ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
    GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)

    Well done Tony with your stunning showroom ES build (the finish you achieved is just the biz) and to all other entrants for your fine efforts. Roll on January GOTM!

    congratulations Tony, I had in the back of my mind this build would win. Well done Andrew on the 2nd place you really nailed it. I just been to PBG headquarters getting some Dingotone sample photos and Ad's never brought up the results so first I've heard. !
    So is this your first GOTM win Tony ?
    Even bigger news I got to leave Ad's place with my tobacco burst ash tele - thats got to be a first !

    How on gods green earth did you retrieve a tele from the nabber himself? You must have some wicked jedi mind tricks mate.

    haha yeah mate I distracted him and made a quick getaway. Saw a few of DB's awesome builds and Ads found a built sunburst ash ST in a case and he's not sure who built it but assuming DB. Did you build a burst ash ST with a red pearloid guard ? The headstock was also nicely burst

    Well done Tony, Andrew and Woks. I think the judges may just have got this one right, but any of those three in any order could have won in my books.

    I love how the standard has risen, I can only imagine what we we'll be looking at in 12 months time. It will look like a catalogue of Boutique Guitars Australia.
