    Hi all,

    I have two guitars completed, both of which I am very proud of. However I can only enter one in the GOTM Contest.

    I therefore humbly beseech the advice of the community to tell me which one I should submit for judgement. Consider it a straw poll... The links to both are supplied below:

    Thanks, folks!

    That's a toughie, they both are awesome. If I had to choose I'd say the seven string, even though the pbg2 looks amazing, the seven string just looks the best to me.

    Anyone who knows the wisdom of Inigo Montoya is allowed a vain request or two.

    They have both turned out great... but, even though it looks good, the shape of the PBG-2 still messes with my head. The IB-7 is definately the one that I'd reach for first to play, so it gets my vote.

    PBG 2 for me. Like them both - though with a few strings on, the pup plastics off, I think the PBG 2 is the one.

    Well done Bass Guy, I think they both look great.

    But I think the richer colour of the PB just gets it over the line for me. And being an old bass player myself I can just about manage 5 strings, 7 would just do my head in.

    Cheers

    Both awesome, depends on whether the judge is a bass player or not...seven strings may scare him off if so. Ignoring that comment, i really like the PBG2....

    PBG2. I like them both, but if they were sitting in front of me the PBG would be the one I would reach for first.

    I think there might be room for an "Emergency Acceptors" list like they do in horse racing? When there are insufficient numbers to contest the race emergency acceptors get drafted in!
