April GOTM

[adam]

Hey guys,

We're about ready to start looking at Guitar of the Month for April. I think we'll have quite a few contenders this time around.

I've got a special guest judge lined up (to be announced), so, if you want your masterpiece judged, make sure you send us some pics.

Preferably, you should have a whole guitar shot, plus a close up on the body, a shot of the back of the body and a headstock shot.

Like this:




Send your photos to adam@pitbullguitars.com.

Forgot to mention, photos to be submitted by midnight Easter Monday.

Yep, I'm entering the Yellow Peril. This is a TL-1 kit with a third-party white pearloid pickguard, and I've added a fidelity circuit across the volume pot. Otherwise it's as supplied. The body is Wudtone Goldenrod with very subtle silver highlights and high gloss top coat. The neck has a single coat of Wudtone Goldenrod base coat everywhere except the fretboard, which I've left natural - then the no-ageing gloss neck topcoat. I've learnt a lot building this, my first ever guitar, and have highly valued the support and advice through this forum. I'm yet to complete setting up the guitar properly, but already the sound is amazing.

I'm entering the Alson SG-1. I used all stock Pitbull parts for this except for the switch ring and truss rod cover. The finish is Dark Onyx Wudtone with a hot auburn burst, and non aging satin top coat. The writing on the headstock was done with a pyrography pen.
Like Glenn, this is my first build, and the information on this forum has been invaluable.
After giving this guitar to my dad as a gift, he had a friend of his who works on guitars professionally, set the neck up for him. He was amazed by the finish and the resulting tone of the guitar. Seriously can not speak more highly of the Wudtone finishing products, they are just freaking amazing

Good luck Stui, that is an awesome axe with a great back-story. You won't hear any complaints from me if you pull off GOTM!

Cheers Glenn, likewise, you've made a very sexy axe. Seems like a battle of the newbies with us lol.
