Thread: June 2013 GOTM Competition

  1. #1
    Hey folks, just a reminder to get your entries in for June Guitar of the Month by 31 May 2013.

    We are very pleased to announce that we have none other than Phil Manning (Chain) judging this one. Phil loves the site and the concept of building your own kit guitar. He's even organising a kit for his grandson.

    For anyone unfamiliar with Phil's work, please check out www.philmanning.com.au. Personally, Phil is one of my idols, I grew up with Toward the Blues on constant rotation on my turntable.

    Remember, we need at least 4 shots of your finished guitar:

    • Full guitar shot from the front
      close up on the body (get right in there)
      close up of the headstock
      a shot of the back of the guitar


    You can post your photos here in this thread, or email them to me at adam@pitbullguitars.com.

    Good luck!
    Cheers,

    Adam

    Yes, the Heresy Fretless Bass should be complete in time for this one. Hopefully!

    I might be a bit ambitious, but here goes.
    Had a mishap, so I saved what wood tone I had left and modified a mahogany stain that I had already, not exactly the color I was after, but close, finished it in clear. been a bit of an enjoyable learning curve :P

    Really beautiful guitar AJ, you should be really happy with that.

    Do you know anyone with a good Digital SLR Camera? I'd love to see some pro-quality shots of the guitar with some proper lighting (no offense on your photos, but they look a bit our of focus).

    Cheers,

    Adam
