Folks, I wanted to formally welcome Jarrod to the GOTM Judging Panel.
Jarrod, who has been a serial winner of our Guitar of the Month competition, has formally excused himself from entering future GOTM competitions. His guitar company, JMC, is really making a name for itself and he has already sold quite a few guitars. Anyone who has seen his "Nebular" can't help but be impressed with the work he's doing.
We felt it was fair that our Guitar of the Month Competition should only be open to amateur and hobby builders, otherwise it would be unfair on a first time builder. There are no prizes in this competition, only the thrill of competing against other amateur builders and maybe, if your guitar hits the right notes with the judges, gracing the PBG Home Page for a month (plus a bit of Facebook fame!).
So, if you are selling your finished guitars for profit*, then please do not enter this competition.
"Making guitars for your family or friends, or auctioning some guitars for charity, does not disqualify you.
Thanks for your understanding.
