    Enter your finished guitar here to be judged for July's Pit Bull Guitars Guitar of the Month.

    A few rules:

    It must be a Pit Bull Guitars kit (mods and upgrades are ok)
    We need 4 photos: full guitar shot from the front, close up of the body finish, shot of the back of the guitar and close up of the headstock.
    Post your photos in this thread or email them to adam@pitbullguitars.com.
    Competition for July closes 30 June 2013.

    Special Guest Judge to be announced later this month.
    Cheers,

    Adam

    Well i thought i should kick things off with my entry for July GOTM.

    Its an LP-1 kit with some minor modifications, such as Orange Drop tone caps and a set of different knobs and pickup surrounds. Im waiting for the logo to be made up from a friend at work so that will be added as soon as i can pick it up.

    The kit is finished in Dark Tease with non aging, gloss clear. There are also a couple of rounds of Axe Wax to help bring out the shine. It adds to the finish nicely.

    Note: Tuners have been swapped around and switch surround left off on purpose :-)

    Best of all, it plays very nicely. Couldnt be happier.

    Enjoy..

    Hi HighAce, you might want to revisit your tuners, you have the right hand side ones on the left hand side and the left hand side ones on the right hand side....

    Nice work Highace, yes as Gav says you will have to reverse the tuners. Also noticed you left of the rhythm/treble plate on the pickup switch. The finish is very well done, a very worthy contender for July GOTM !

    You don't want to leave off a silly thing like that! Could cost you GOTM! Plus a few visits with the shrink to get over the loss!

    yes good advice Gav, Highace did remember the truss rod cover but the judge may not like the treble/rhythm plate missing !
